Dignity & Dementia Champions

A Dignity Champion is someone who believes passionately that being treated with dignity is a basic human right, not an optional extra. They believe that care services must be compassionate, person centred, as well as efficient.

The care team at White Lodge have several Dignity & Dementia Champions.

What is Gold Standards Frameworks?

Gold Standards Framework gives outstanding training to all those providing End-of-Life Care to ensure better quality of life for residents, and to ensure carers adhere to these recognised standards of care.

White Lodge has achieved the Gold Standards in End-of-Life Care.

We aim  to keep residents at White Lodge & St Helens for as long as possible. The Gold Standards training has enabled staff to care for people to the best  of their abilities until their final days of life.

Resident's families may be asked to participate in End-of-Life Care Plans and Advance Care Plans to help enable the staff to provide the best care possible for residents in their final days.
