Owned and directed by partners Roger and Tania Pell, Forget Me Not Residential Home is a prominent care home in Burnham, Berkshire. Tania and her husband Roger founded Forget Me Not Residential Home in 1995 after their attempts at finding a suitable care home for Roger’s father proved futile. They discovered that Burnham and its surrounding areas was missing a HIGH QUALITY, RESIDENT-FRIENDLY and INVITING care home. Assuming that many other families and elderly people had the same concerns, Tania and Roger sought to establish a reputable care home in the community. CQC COMPLIANT (Inspected Feb 2012) The home is a registered care provider and is proud to be operating in line with the Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) rules and regulations. Its most recent inspection by the CQC not only highlighted Tania’s immaculate detail to documentation, but also honed in on the significant role Forget Me Not Residential Home’s staff undertake and the professionalism with which they do so. TESTIMONIALS FROM CURRENT RESIDENTS (May 2012) “I am very happy here and it’s the best place” Mrs FG “The cook always asks me about my preference for lunch every morning” Ms DS “I am very happy here” Mrs MB “They treat me just like I am in a hotel” Mr TM In a period where the media portrays care homes and its providers as cruel and unfavourable, Forget Me Not Residential Home’s award is a certain testament of its deviation from this illustration.
