Broomgrove’s coronavirus campaign reaches a quarter of a million

Broomgrove Nursing Home

Our campaign to have the work of care home nurses, carers and ancillary staff recognized alongside NHS workers has now reached nearly a quarter of a million people. 

Donna Pierpoint, manager of Broomgrove Nursing Home that has worked in health and social care for 26 years, said: “The NHS deserves every ounce of praise they get but I want to remind people that the nurses, carers and ancillary staff in care homes like ours work just as hard and deserve equal thanks.

“We’re turning up for work every day to care for some of the most vulnerable people in society. Few people are more prone to the devastating affects of coronavirus than our residents.”

Nearly two-and-a-half thousand people have now shared Donna Pierpoint’s original Facebook post in support of her campaign. It has now been viewed by nearly a quarter of a million people. 

Broomgrove Nursing Home closed its doors to visitors a few days ago in order to protects its residents.

Donna Pierpoint added: “It broke my heart to see relatives crying when they realised they didn’t know when they were going to see their mums and dads again. But as manager we have to do all we can to keep our residents safe and work within the guidelines we’re given. These are unprecedented times and we’ve had to take unprecedented measures.”

The care that my mum has received and continues to receive is second-to-none. The home is light, airy, beautifully maintained and very welcoming. The staff who know every resident and their individual needs are thoroughly professional and friendly and very kind. They ensure Mum is beautifully dressed and take time to apply perfume and hand cream which she loves. The food is excellent and varied. There is a team of staff who organise regular social activities as well as special events such as themed garden parties or musical/drama performances to which relatives are invited and made very welcome. It is made very clear that the care and support offered by the staff extends to the family and friends of the residents and never was this more apparent when Mum was discharged from hospital just before I was out of the country for a month. Whilst away I received photos of mum and regular updates which were very reassuring and much appreciated. I cannot recommend Broomgrove highly enough.

I am confident that my Husband is being well cared for and his needs are being met. I am also confident that the staff communicate well with me and keep me informed about his condition. I find Broomgrove a happy place to visit and all the staff are very kind to me. The staff at Broomgrove do their best to meet the varied needs of their residents and their relatives.
If I needed to go into care myself, I would choose Broomgrove. Throughout my husband’s illness and having had my husband’s mother, my father and my aunt in different care homes, I believe Broomgrove to be the best.
