Lindsay House at Vida Court is proud to have achieved the Huntington’s Disease Association’s Quality Assured accreditation.
Huntington’s disease is a complex condition, with few international guidelines compared to other conditions, and no NICE guidelines within the UK. The Huntington’s Disease Association’s accreditation process has focused and shaped our service provision to ensure we are providing care which specifically meets the unique needs of people with Huntington’s disease. The knowledge and skill of our staff team in supporting our residents with Huntington’s disease has grown significantly through the accreditation process, and we continuously see improved outcomes for our residents as a result. - Sophie, Senior Nurse
Vida Court is has eight specialist houses. Lindsay House, one of the specialist houses, is dedicated to people living with Huntington’s disease and can accommodate nine people in total. This unit has access to multidisciplinary community services and the team has gone above and beyond to ensure they are trained to adequately support their Huntington’s residents.
The Huntington’s Disease Association recognises their commitment to providing the very best care for people living with Huntington’s disease.
What would you say to care homes thinking about accreditation?
It is the ideal opportunity for homes that need to focus and improve their service provision for residents with Huntington’s disease. The accreditation process highlights areas for service development, and with guidance from the specialist team at the Huntington’s Disease Association, helps to identify steps towards achieving this.
The accreditation process isn’t about attaining the status at the end, but the actual day-to-day improvements in care and service delivery that are achieved along the way. - Sophie, Senior Nurse
