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.

In February 2016 White Lodge achieved the Gold Standards in End-of-Life Care.

It is our 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 their best of their abilities until their final days of life.

Residents 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.
