Greater Manchester Teaching in Care Homes
As a home we are always wanting to learn, share and improve, a big part of this has been our work with GM Teaching in Care Homes Partnership. One of the best aspects of being part of the partnership has been the opportunity to learn about the care service provided in Canadian Schlegel Villages which has help evolve our practice within the home. Our residents have also been involved with sharing and comparing the Canadian care home experience.
We have been able to offer the opportunity for some of our residents to be part University of Salfords zimmer frame research. The residents enjoyed being part of the research.
