Havenmere rated Good by CQC regulators

Exemplar Health Care’s specialist nursing home in Immingham, Havenmere, has been rated Good in all areas by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who highlighted the home’s commitment to promoting people’s independence and rehabilitation, dedication to delivering care in a positive environment and the home’s high-quality care and support.

Havenmere, a specialist care home that provides care for 38 younger adults who live with very complex disabilities, was praised for respecting people’s choices and privacy, meeting residents’ diverse needs and for providing an open, family environment for people to call their home.

One family member told the regulators: “When my loved one became ill we went through a very difficult and emotional time.

“Staff at Havenmere take a genuine interest in the lives of people living there and of their families.

“Havenmere were enormously attentive to both our physical and emotional needs, which provided us with peace of mind.”

The report particularly highlighted the home for their positive links with the community, the way the home involves family members in the care planning process and acknowledged the home’s caring, kind and compassionate team members.
