The exclusively Shropshire based operator has 14 homes for older people, people with disabilities and those with age-related conditions across the county and has a ‘Focus on achieving the highest standards we can for those who put their trust in us’. says Operations Director, Debbie Price.
‘We are seeing the risk of choking increasing as the nature of people’s conditions and frailty has increased.’ she continued. ‘We are always looking at how we can embrace technology to improve the quality of our care for benefit of all of our staff and residents.’
Coverage Care were able to implement the Anti-Choking equipment across their portfolio quickly and safely by taking advantage of DeChoker’s Train The Trainer option.
