Newcross Digest - July Edition

Welcome to Newcross Digest, featuring a mixture of news from us and the healthcare industry. In this edition, we meet Cerys' Mum, Donna, celebrate Good Care Month with one of our amazing Registered Managers for Community Care, Jenna Olley . Give you an update on our latest #VoicesofCare blog series, discuss the growing demands for mental health staffing and focus on the latest NHS Framework changes.

Donna, Cerys’ Mum 

We recently introduced you to Cerys and her amazing business; Cerys’ Creative Corner. We sat down with Donna, Cerys’ Mum, to discuss how together, we all share the same vision of what we want for Cerys, and that is for her to be as independent as possible and to achieve whatever she wants to achieve. Donna says: “The fact that I can trust these people to go out with Cerys, and I know that they will look after her like I would, that trust is so important to me.”  

This is why we provide the care we do. 💜 #ANewcrossStory
