Friends of Brookdale
June
2015 update
A
meeting was held by the Friends of Brookdale group yesterday (23.6.15) with
Cllr Paul Cummins; also in attendance was Marcus Roberts from Sefton. Many
questions were raised by the carers present.
Cllr
Cummins confirmed that money was available for the improvements needed, such as
car park resurfacing and structural improvements. He stated that the council
had a commitment to carers’ involvement in any changes/improvements and that we
would work together on this.
Carers
stated that concerns over referrals were slow to come through and that some
professional agencies were not telling people in need about the service offered
by Brookdale. Road signage was required and marketing was needed to ensure this
essential service was easily found by people.
Cllr
Cummins listened and promised to look into the problems faced.
It
was stated that in order to develop Brookdale to ensure the delivery of care
stays excellent, Sefton needed to look into training needs, physical structure
and referral rates.
Friends
of Brookdale are continuing to work behind the scenes with professionals in
order that this much needed service continues to flourish.
