Our Aims & Objectives

The aims and objectives of Sentry Care Ltd are to provide a homely, safe and caring environment for older people, respecting their right to choose their own lifestyle and actively supporting them to realise their aspirations.

​This is achieved by offering residents independence and privacy, companionship, comfort and care. 
Our focus is on enhancing quality of life by setting the style and tone of the home in terms of its efficiency and probity, showing concern for residents and staff and its relationship with the community.

​
  • Engage a registered manager who is qualified, competent and experienced for the task.
  • Aim for a management approach which creates an open, positive and inclusive atmosphere.
  • Install and operate effective quality assurance and quality monitoring systems.
  • Work to accounting and financial procedures that safeguard residents' interests.
  • Offer residents appropriate assistance in the management of their personal finances.
  • Supervise all staff and voluntary workers regularly and carefully.
  • Keep up-to-date and accurate records on all aspects of the home and its residents.
  • Ensure that the health, safety and welfare of residents and staff are promoted and protected.
