We are pleased to announce that we can now invite you to bring flowers in for your loved ones in our homes. This is based on updated guidance and our internal review of our policy.
However, We would ask that if you have any symptoms or have tested positive for Covid-19 that continue to not visit the home and also do not send or deliver flowers due to this still posing a risk of infection. Thank you for your understanding and we are pleased to be able to share this good news.
Another financial year has ended, and as I look back and reflect on the past 12 months, I would like to take the time to thank you for the fantastic job you have all been doing and for all your hard work, commitment, and invaluable contributions in efforts to make our homes a superb place to live or work.
The last 24 months have been challenging and we are currently working through our homes revival plan which was introduced to strengthen our homes support and hopefully put us back in the strong position we were in before the pandemic.
Pay increases
In October 2021, every member of the Adept team benefitted from a pay increase to combat the rising cost of living. This increase took our rates of pay to an industry high and I am pleased to announce a further pay increase from 1st April 2022. We have decided that moving forward we will put all resources into increasing pay rather than uncertain periodic bonuses i.e., CQC GOOD BONUS, which will be discontinued from 1st April 2022.
Adept Benefits Scheme
In October last year we invested in ‘Adept Benefits,’ our all-new bespoke employee benefits package designed with you, our team in mind, so you can enjoy great discounts on high street shopping, groceries, travel plans, dining out and much more. As part of the team, you can also access a great range of benefits available for you to use and save money including services to help improve your health and wellbeing. This has already proved to be popular with many of the team making great savings, so if you have not already, log on at www.adeptbenefits.com to find out more.
Unused holidays accruals
Many of our team have been unable to take their full holiday entitlement due to the pandemic. The good news is we were able to provide a solution which meant you still benefited through electing to covert to cash, pension or simply roll on your entitlement.
Refer a friend scheme
I hope that existing team members would recommend us as an employer to their friends.
As a member of the team who refers a friend or family member to work at Adept in accordance with this scheme, you will be eligible to receive £250 as a thank you.
Pay Day Advance
We offer you the benefit of a Pay Day Advance of up to £1,000. We do not ask for a reason, charge no fee or interest and you will pay no benefit-in-kind tax under current legislation.
Winter Loyalty Bonus
A one-off payment from Leicestershire County Council where the team has been continuously employed by Moat House between 13 December 2001 and 28 February 2022 will be included April’s pay.
The value of the one-off payment is:
£500 for an employee working on average 20 hours or more per week

Residents and team at Kiwi House Care Home in Alvaston, Derby held a lavish party to celebrate, following their latest inspection by industry watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Residents and the team at Kiwi House enjoyed the celebration with live entertainment from Vintage Singer, Johnny Victory, party games, food, champagne, and specially made donuts for the occasion from ‘Project D’.
Inspectors made an unannounced visit to Kiwi House Care Home at the end of last year, when they spoke with residents, relatives, and team members, as well as reviewed care records.
The care home received an overall “Good” in the inspection report.
Sisters are residing together at Chetwynd House Care Home.
There’s not a hint of sibling rivalry when you meet Nottinghamshire-born sisters, Maureen (84) and Margaret (82). In fact, you’d say the exact opposite of the pair who are so close, and are living together at Chetwynd House Care Home in Chilwell, Nottinghamshire.
“I love my sister more than anything, I originally moved to Chetwynd House because I didn’t want to be alone and the home has such a community feel. It really does feel like home. I am so glad Maureen chose to join me here,” said Margaret.
Maureen added: “We’ve had the odd squabble in our time, but mostly, we just get on like friends more than sisters. It’s great living together, we have a lot to talk about and both enjoy the resident clubs and activities here. It’s like we’ve never been apart!”
“We think it’s wonderful that Margaret and Maureen have chosen to live together here at Chetwynd House. They tell us they used to get up to mischief and listening to them reminisce with tales of their childhood, it’s clear they have experienced so much of their lives together. Their bond is remarkable and it’s truly heart-warming that they are able and choose to be together now,” said Kate Gilvear, Home Manager.
