Our promise, ‘Cherishing You’, is made to every individual resident. It’s a commitment to a style of care which is underpinned by our five values. Friendly – welcoming, approachable, eager to listen and help Kind – respectful, patient, thoughtful, taking time and doing what’s needed Individual – attentive, responsive, embracing uniqueness Reassuring – high standards, inspiring trust and confidence, taking responsibility Honest – realistic, open, ready to acknowledge mistakes and put them right, unafraid of difficult conversations. Welcome to Colten Care 3 I’m Mark Aitchison, the Chief Executive of Colten Care and I’d like to welcome you personally to the Colten Care family. The idea of family is central to us in so many ways. We are a family owned and run business, which means we’ve been free to create our homes without compromise; with the kind of facilities and care we’d like our own loved ones to enjoy. As a team we have developed a promise we make to our residents, underpinned by five values. These are explained on the sheet opposite and examples of our values in action can be seen in our Values Book in reception as well as diary stories on our website. Working with our sister company, Colten Developments, we have built a family of homes across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and West Sussex. Our first opened in 1980 on Lymington high street, while our footprint most recently extended into West Sussex in 2015. We are very proud of each of our homes, recognising that each has its own distinctive character and personality, which is developed and nurtured by the staff, residents and their friends and families. We are all one team committed to providing you with the highest standards of clinical and social care, so you are free to enjoy each day the way you choose. We hope that you will quickly find life in this home to be comfortable, welcoming and enjoyable. I’ll hand you over now to your Home Manager, who will explain a little more about the home. Mark Aitchison Chief Executive Welcome to Colten Care 5 Welcome to Brook View... ... an ideal and idyllic residential and nursing home. Hello, I’m Maggie Tomlin, Home Manager and it is my role to ensure that Brook View’s residents receive the best possible care and quality of life. My accent quickly gives away that I am Scottish by birth. But I settled in Poole with my husband after a period travelling the world with his job in the RAF. Brook View also has its own Scottish mascot - my West Highland Terrier Geordie - who comes to work with me each day and is popular with staff and residents alike. I have managed nursing homes for over 20 years, including 15 years with another provider in the South and I would like to think that care is my vocation, rather than my job. I think Brook View feels a lot like a family home: comfy and welcoming, with plenty of natural light, not least in our spacious lounge overlooking the gardens. 6 Welcome to Colten Care And life here at Brook View enables residents to retain their individuality and independence, while feeling safe, cared-for and part of a community. We have a full programme of daily activities, which you can dip in and out of as you wish. We welcome residents’ family and visitors and host regular entertainment from outside organisations. We also have an in-house hair salon and a garden room which can be enjoyed all year round and the home is situated just a short distance from the many shops and amenities of Ferndown. This pack has been written to help you settle in. I hope it gives you all the information you need about the facilities, day-to-day services and roles of the various staff members. But if having read it you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak with me or another member of the team. My door is always open and Geordie and I look forward to welcoming you. the team Introducing Introducing Section 2 Introducing the team friendly • kind • individual • reassuring • honest Welcome to Colten Care Introducing the team 7 Introducing the team Our home has around 100 staff, most of which are permanent but we do have some more flexible ‘bank’ workers who we can call on from time-to-time. Those on the ‘bank’ team are very much part of Colten Care, and often work at more than one of our homes. All of our staff undertake a comprehensive induction and training programme on their arrival and then continue to benefit from regular training, depending on their role, to ensure professionalism as well as compliance. We are delighted that many of the team have worked in our home for a very many years, bringing the benefit of plenty of experience. We each have a different daily role but be assured that each person is part of one team, committed to you, ensuring your happiness and comfort each day. If you have any questions about staff teams, individuals, training etc. then please feel free to ask the Home Manager.

  • River Crane and Moors River Moors Valley Country Park
    River Crane and Moors River Moors Valley Country Park Advisory Visit April 2018 Key Findings • The Crane and Moors River supports a diverse range of high quality habitats. • The upper reaches of the Crane provide some good quality spawning opportunities for gravel spawning fish species • Tree work to preserve “leggy” bank-top alders is required • Further successional tree planting is recommended • Long sections of river are adversely impacted by flows being diverted away and through the parallel lake systems • The lakes can no longer fulfil their designed flood attenuation levels due to heavy siltation issues • De-silting the lakes alone is not a sustainable solution 1 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit to the River Crane and Moors River (the river changes its name half way along the reach) flowing through the Moors Valley Country Park (MVCP) near Three Legged Cross in East Dorset. The request for the visit came from the MVCP Team Leader, who is looking into options for managing the flood attenuation ponds that currently take flow from the river, as well as exploring opportunities for improving river and riparian habitat quality. Comments in this report are based on observations made during the site visit and discussions on the day with MVCP staff. Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream.

Produced by the West Moors Parish Plan Steering Committee 2007 1. INTRODUCTION Background to Parish Plans The Government’s Rural White Paper “Our Countryside, the Future” (2000) proposed that all rural communities should develop “Town, Village and Parish Plans” to identify key facilities and services and to set out the problems that needed to be tackled with a view to demonstrating how distinctive character and features could be preserved. This was followed by the Countryside Agency launching its “Vital Villages” programme in 2001. The goal of the programme was to achieve socially and economically active rural communities that address their own priorities making them better equipped to shape their own futures. Parish Plans form part of this programme and funding for this initiative came from Dorset Community Action A Parish Plan should address the needs of the entire community and an important aspect of this is that everyone should be given the opportunity to take part in its preparation.

    Neighbourhood Engagement Contract …………………………………………..…… East Dorset Neighbourhood Policing Team Neighbourhood Engagement Contract - Self Evaluation Report and Neighbourhood Engagement Plan Part 1 – Introduction and Self Evaluation Section or department Eastern NPT Date of completion 26072019 This is a self-evaluation completed by the NPT Sergeant and Inspector responsible for the specific section or department. The second part of this report becomes the Neighbourhood Engagement Plan when complete. This report will be completed annually and submitted to the SMT for final assessment by the OPCC. Results of the evaluation will be taken to Force boards. Provide the context of your business area in relation to Engagement with communities. The Eastern section consists of a large rural community with three key towns of Wimborne, Ferndown and Verwood and large villages such as Corfe Mullen and Alderholt. The popularity of the area, being close to the New Forest, Bournemouth and the Dorset coast, has seen a rapid expansion in housing from the 1980s with the Verwood, Ferndown, West Moors and Corfe Mullen populations more than quadrupling. There still remains a rural feel, however, especially in the north and west of the area. The towns hold the majority of the 59,039 households and 138,570 people (2016). The average age of the community, across the section, is 47. The proportion of individuals over the age of 65 is significantly higher than the national average. More than half of the population are made up of successful professionals, in suburban or semi-rural homes and active elderly people, living in pleasant retirement locations. Current housing growth can be seen to be concentrated on the Colehill, Wimborne and West Parley wards, with 2,500 new homes being built around Wimborne alone (2018 onwards).
