Meet The Manager

Denise Moorin is Deputy Manager at West Ridings Care Home.

I’ve been in RMA since 2008 and prior to that, from 1998-2005, I was a clinical support worker for the NHS. They seconded me to do my following trainings.

I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and safe environment for residents and their families.

Welcome to West Ridings Residential and Nursing Home, where we care for Residents across five specialist homes on our site. Our Care Home in Wakefield has expert teams to look after Residents with a wide range of different needs. No matter what type of care they require, all Residents are cared for by compassionate care professionals, dedicated to their wellbeing.

In our busy, warm individual Houses, Residents are supported to live the life they choose. We aim to take care of more than just clinical needs, as Residents settle into our friendly community and make new friends. As well as residential care, we also provide nursing care and dementia nursing care on-site. One of the unique benefits of living at West Ridings is that if care needs change, we can provide continuity of care at the Home to ensure they get the best support and care for their specific needs.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

West Ridings is working within the government guidelines to help protect its staff and clients.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Independent Assessments We have been independently assessed in our approach to infection control.
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
