Achlgvom•nts and ￿rfOrnia￿eO {¢ontlnu•d)
Oporatlons and Managemont
We continue lo work within national AJ)beyfthJ policies, adapted as n￿SSary for our own circumstances. We
have been assessed for the Abbeyfield Qualty Standard IAQSI and have achioved the standards required. The
point of the Slandafd is lo ensure that every element of our work is fulty compliant with all national and local
regulation5 and that we are work4ng efficwity and in line wrth bgsl practice.
The accounts show that the Society has str￿g finances, thanks to the efforts of our trustees and of the
management team. As a nol-for*rofst organisalion. our resKJentrdl charges are modest bul to keep those
¢harges at that level, we must minimise ro(xn V￿anC￿ and also ensu￿ that we keep our costs in line with
effective practice5 and that we keep those costs under ￿nStant revEw.
We n6gd also to maintain good financial reserves tocause Brian Lv4ViS House is an okler buikling which will
sometsmes require repairs and has, in recent years. been Substant￿llY rafurbished externally with a new roof
and external painting. Internalty, we have carried out many works to keep our fire precautions updated, installed
new krt¢hen facilities and we have also C￿￿Pie1ed a rebuikj of the lrft and fijrther minor but essential wort(s.
Rè8ldants
During the past year we reluth"8h￿ rocrfn$ as usual when va¢**¢w ¢￿Trad.
Some of the new enquiries about accomrnodab'on come from Abbeyfiekl's national reputation and visibility bul
most arise through Ic￿1 contscls. limrted local advertising and word-of-moulh. We continue lo keep 8 register of
potentsal new resKlents we contad in cases cl a vacan￿. The most nomal reason for a resident to move
on is that they need fulklime Professional care beGause we cannot provide this ourselves, though we do
encourage residents lo purchase any small amounts of care they may need from oulside providefs.
For most of the year under rwffw we had 3￿ght￿ higher than usual averages of vacant rooms and this is
refflected in similar Hou8e8 elsewhere. many of which have had to close as a eonsequence. When new
residents are idenlffied. we prefer that they have an inrtial short Irk81 stay which prowdes the opportunity for them
to make sure as far 85 pjssible that they are going to enjoy Imng al Brian Lgwis House. This lessens the risk
that they will go to the uph8av81 of mowng here on a pennanenl basis onty to find that it is not lo their taste.
Tfustees and oth•r voluntoern
DuTing the year we had a stable group of seven trustees who together fomi the Ex￿utive Committeo which
meets six th'mes per year. The purpose of the Ceffimittee L8 to sel the policy and direction of the Society and lo
monitor the achievement of objethves and make any necessary aQ"ustments. Each trustee has a specific area
of responsibility as well as their gener￿ duty as a trustee.
We continue to benefit from 8 small pool of other volunteers in areas such as social support and befriending for
residents, and limited IT support for both staff and residents. We thank all of them for their gocxlwll and their
time but we are a￿¥#y$ hx4(ing for morg voluntegrs to expand what we can offer to our residonts.
The Challenges of the Last Year
After enduring the isolation and worry of the Cowd epidernic for what seemed - and indeed wa5 - a very long
time. our residents have recovered from all those limrtabons to enjoy receiwng wsrtors, relatives and friends and
to enjoy access to fresh air and exercise.
However, other issues have arisen with record and I￿94a$lIng rises in energy pri￿8. food and other costs. All
of these have affected the House and our residents and ￿11 conkn.nue to require finar￿la1 stringency.

Achlov•m•nts and pgrfonnanc8 (contlnu•d)
Planning for Futurn Challeng•s
The Trustees have a respons￿lIty to protect our residents by prowding safe accommodation for many years lo
come. In the past we have revthved the usefulness and surtabil¢ty of Brian Lewis House and we are sure that
this House is our best localhjn and that it wll be the h(Kne for the SocEty into the foreseeab￿ fulufe.
Many 8nd varied challenges will faca ug and not ￿St. an increasing ¥p￿Tance of nstsonal reguLglion.
Because of our status as an independonl. non￿re 9￿ing charity under the Abbeyfiekd umbrella, we have not
been as subject to th& detailed national regulation that af-feds care homes bul the Social Housing Regulator is
incrgasing Ils oversight of all housing providers. In ?ddrt￿n. the national $￿iety has laid ￿t rts requirement for
more regular infomalion in the future wlh Al)beyf￿d England las the national SoC￿ty 1$ n(Y4V called) concemed
about the levels of failure in the sector.
Last but not least, the ￿1n thallen9ès of maintaining gcod occupancy levels in the House whilst keeping 8 firm
grip on costs will be importanl. WhiLqt we are keeping a ch)se eye on such matters, we feel that we are fully
resilienl and ready to face a p)sitw6 future with a successful and hard￿￿rkIng team..
b. Inv•8tm•nt pollcy and performane•
