Hill House Nursing Home and Three Corners Nursing Home were owned by the same person, and both traded under ‘Golfhill’, a limited company. 

The new owners are Codess Sociale, an overseas operator. 

 

Luca Omodei, general manager at Codess Sociale, said: "In this new project of social care for elderly people in the UK, our hope is to bring an added value; the attention and Italian expertise in the management of residential care homes and social care services.

 

"This is just the beginning. Our intention is to develop the business in the coming years with our goal to accommodate at least 500 guests in our nursing homes in the United Kingdom."

 

Simon Harvey, director based in Christie & Co’s Exeter office who handled the sale, added: "We are delighted to have assisted the previous directors of Golfhill Ltd and wish them well with their future plans."

Care homes are staffed 24/7 by care workers, receptionists, security guards and other members of staff. If it is also a nursing home, with specialist nurses on-site, they will also need to have a constant presence. This means that there is likely to be a large number of overlapping and/or irregular shifts. 

 

This is already difficult enough for supervisors to manage successfully. It is vital that there is a clear picture of who is in the building at any given time, not only for the security and reputation of the care home, but also for visitors’ safety in situations such as fire alarms. 

 

Our specialist time and attendance system records everyone’s entrance and exit from controlled doors, using either smartcards or more expensive but more secure biometric measurements. 

 

When the time and attendance clocking terminals from Time and Attendance South West are linked into your company’s fire alarm system, any fire alarm activation will result in the printing of a fast, automated list of who is currently clocked into the building. This is more accurate than a paper sign-in sheet.

 

All the data from our system on when people went through controlled doors is exportable onto all major payroll programmes. We also have the Self Service Module, which can be accessed from a browser or from your mobile via the app (available on Android and iOS). This enables employees to sign in and out and request holiday. 

 

If the clocking in/out is done from a mobile, the information is transferred to the central Tensor.NET application, including GPS position data so that you can make sure your remote employees, such as community carers, are where they should be at that time.
