Celebrating Nurses Day at Beaumont Manor Care Home
On Monday 12th May, everyone at Beaumont Manor Care Home is taking a moment to reflect, recognise, and celebrate the exceptional work of our nursing team. These dedicated professionals are far more than skilled caregivers – they are the very heartbeat of our home.
The Role of a Nurse - More Than Just a Job
Nursing within a care home setting is both deeply personal and remarkably complex. Our nurses embody many roles – they are carers, healers, leaders, mentors, and emotional anchors – seamlessly shifting between them to deliver outstanding care every day.
Here’s just a glimpse into the vital roles they carry out at Beaumont Manor:
1. Clinical Experts
- Administering medication accurately and safely
- Monitoring vital signs and acting swiftly on clinical change
- Managing long-term health conditions including dementia, heart disease, and diabetes
- Delivering expert wound care and end-of-life support
- Upholding the highest infection control standards
2. Coordinators of Care
- Working closely with GPs, pharmacies, hospitals, and specialists
- Updating care plans alongside residents and their loved ones
- Leading daily handovers and mentoring care staff
- Supporting audits, inspections, and continuous quality improvements
3. Emotional Anchors
- Providing comfort and reassurance to residents and their families
- Supporting individuals and families through palliative and end-of-life care
- Building meaningful relationships that foster a sense of home and belonging
- Promoting independence, dignity, and choice in all aspects of life
4. Advocates and Safeguarders
- Spotting early signs of health deterioration
- Ensuring residents’ rights are respected and voices heard
- Acting on concerns under safeguarding protocols
- Practising the Duty of Candour and upholding the highest ethical standards
Our nurses don’t just perform clinical tasks - they bring humanity, heart, and strength to their roles. Their work is nothing short of extraordinary.
Thank You to All Our Nurses
To the day shift nurses who start early to greet the residents with a smile and medication in hand…
To the night shift nurses who quietly check on residents through the night, ensuring comfort and safety while the world sleeps…
To the nursing leads and managers who steer the team with strength and knowledge…
We thank you. You are the foundation of everything we do at Beaumont Manor.
A Bit of Fun – Meet Our “Other” Nurse!
And while we’re here, we couldn’t resist giving a little nod to our honorary nurse - the unstoppable Anna (a.k.a. Andy) from the maintenance team!
Armed with her silicone gun and unmatched enthusiasm, Andrea may not have a nursing degree, but she’s always ready to jump in - sometimes too ready! If you ever see her with what looks like a syringe… RUN! There’s a good chance it’s silicone from B&Q, and not something you want injected!
In Closing
