The Pines is managed by a voluntary Board of
Directors who are actively involved in charting the direction and
strategic plan of the Home. Officers of the Board come from various
professional backgrounds. The Pines is proud to have, among other
professionals, the expertise of an attorney, a quantity surveyor,
a former Managing Director of a bank, an accountant, and an insurance
professional. Members of the community are also sought in order
to provide input at board meetings including representatives from
local churches, businesses, and service clubs. In addition, representation
from various organizations and government departments including
the Pink Ladies Volunteer Corps, the National Council of Voluntary
Organizations (NCVO), the Department of Children and Family Services,
Cayman Islands Health Services Authority, and the Ministry of Health
and Human Services exists in order to provide guidance to the Officers.
Indeed, the talents of many different individuals with a range of
expertise and perspectives provide strong leadership to the Home
and have the capacity to successfully coordinate a large-scale project
such as the future building plans of The Pines.
The Pines presently has 35 staff who provide around-the-clock care
to residents of the Home. The day-to-day management and supervision
of the Home is the responsibility of the Manager. She brings with
her a wealth of experience both as a Registered Nurse/Midwife as
well as formal training in health care management. A Nursing Supervisor,
who is a qualified Registered Nurse with experience in geriatric
medicine, provides clinical guidance and supervision to the health
care team. Registered Nurses and Enrolled Nurses/Licensed Practical
Nurses develop the care plan and provide ongoing monitoring and
management of each resident’s condition. A team of experienced
Health Care Assistants implement the care plan and assist residents
to complete their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
The Pines also employs one Activities Assistant who carries out
the schedule of daily activities with the residents. Several ancillary
staff including cooks, housekeepers, laundresses and one maintenance
officer contribute to a comfortable and safe environment for residents.
Care is taken to recruit staff who understand the philosophy and
aims of The Pines. The staffing model enables the Home to offer
individualized care and cope with varying diagnosis and degrees
of dependency. Staffing levels are well-monitored and increase when
necessary. Staff enjoy their work and are motivated to provide the
tender loving care that the residents deserve.
