Pathfinders-Care is a residential Nursing facility based in Ollerton Nottinghamshire that has strong founding values. Pathfinders-Care was founded as a result of a personal experience of poor care witnessed by one of the Founding Directors. It was from that moment the concept of Pathfinders-Care started with the mission in mind to-
· Provide high quality care and support.
· Provide a modern and safe living and working environment.
· Provide stable employment and guaranteed hours.
· A pathway of training to develop and offer career pathways for all staff. A social commitment we take very seriously. Empowering staff to upskill, train and increase earnings.
So what is it we do?
We specialise in assisting people with long term conditions and co-morbidities. Progressive conditions, end of life care, trauma, re-enablement and rehabilitation. Providing and promoting quality of life, choice, dignity and independence wherever possible. To be a little more specific, this could be in the form of-
