Following the launch of the new Quantum Care Apprenticeship Programme, we’re spending National Apprenticeship Week celebrating our apprentices throughout Quantum Care and will be introducing you to a few of them! We’ve partnered with Hart Learning and Development, Hertfordshire Regional College, Harlow College and North Herts College to offer training for the Care Certificate, Level 2 Dementia Awareness and Level 2 Health and Social Care Diploma.

We are really pleased to announce that we are partnering with Oomph! Wellness to train 48 Quantum Care staff across 16 homes to offer regular exercise sessions to day centre clients, residents and members of the local community.

The training is part of a Sport England subsidised programme which aims to get 27,000 over 55s from inactive to active within the next two years. Each member of staff will attend a 2 day intensive course to qualify with an Active IQ and Skills for Care endorsed qualification, delivered by Oomph! Wellness.

Ann from Pets as Therapy visits The Fairway every month with her dog. They go around all the units to see the residents and are always welcome!

Residents at Heath House enjoyed making and baking their own chocolate chip cookies! They had a lot of fun trying out the different shapes and could barely wait for them to come out of the oven!

Vesta Lodge residents enjoying a visit from Wings of Freedom! They were fascinated to learn about the birds of prey and to meet the falcon, barn owl and eagle owl in the home. After the talk, the birds were taken to meet residents throughout the home to make sure that everyone got the chance to see their amazing visitors!
