Who We Are
What makes us unique?
Lindfield Christian Care Home is very proud to have been providing care since 1992. LCCH is a non-profit making organisation established by the three churches in Lindfield village. It is a home with a strong Christian ethos which is open to everyone. All fees are used for the benefit of the people who live here, the cost of experienced qualified staff to deliver excellent care, to run the home and maintain the fabric of the building, ensuring a safe and homely environment which is fully compliant with the many legal and regulatory requirements.
The Christian ethos of mutual respect and dignity for every individual is at the heart of everything we do. Our aim is to provide a warm, homely and caring environment, where staff feel valued and we acknowledge and embrace in addition to their nursing needs the uniqueness of each person, whose individual physical, emotional and spiritual well-being needs are also met.
We are also ideally located in the heart of Lindfield Village which makes visits to shops and places of interest accessible.
In 2018 following an unannounced inspection by two Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC, The Regulator of Health and Social Care) we were rated Outstanding. We were delighted to be amongst the 2% of all Care Homes and amongst only 1% of Nursing Homes in the country to receive this status. A fitting reward for all of our staff, who work tirelessly to constantly find ways to improve our service and ensure that the people who live here are healthy, happy and content.
Philosophy of Care
Lindfield Christian Care Home aims to provide the people who live here with a secure, relaxed and homely environment in which their care, well-being, spiritual needs and comfort are of prime importance. Privacy, individuality, dignity, respect and choice are central to the delivery of holistic care for each individual. We value the uniqueness of every person and aim to promote independence, wellbeing, fulfilment and happiness.
Learning and Development
We are committed to the learning and development and supervision of every member of our staff. All staff undertake mandatory training on an annual basis that is relevant to their role in the home. We encourage all staff to continue to develop professionally and offer everyone additional opportunities to attend courses and other study opportunities to enhance their individual role. Some of our health care staff have taken on the role and responsibility of becoming a Champion. This means they have a strong personal interest in a specific area of health care and have undertaken additional training and agreed to take on responsibility in that area of interest in the home. They keep up to date with changes in theory and best practice and act as a personal resource for staff and lead on any initiatives for their area. Champions attend forums, meetings and maintain links where appropriate with other clinicians. All staff are given protected time to have professional discussions with their line manager every 12 weeks.
