People, staff and relatives also commented that the range and frequency of in-house activities could be improved. This was discussed with the registered manager who agreed to review hours available which could be utilised to provide additional activities for people.
Points to consider
Enough staff to get by but agency workers used too much at nights and weekends, who sometimes lack knowledge of residents.
staff, people and their relatives did raise some concerns regarding the use of agency staffing particularly of a nighttime. One relative said, 'There are too many agency staff, especially at nights and weekends, though it's not about them being unhelpful, it's their lack of knowledge of the people here.'
Activities are limited in range and frequency, so most of your shifts are routine personal care.
some relatives and people raised concerns regarding agency staff usage and the availability of in-house activities... the range and frequency of in-house activities could be improved.
