Working at Abbendon Nursing Home

Activities are basic like crafts and singers with a timetable, no coordinator or specialist programmes to add variety to the job.

An activities timetable was displayed documenting a range of planned activities. One person told us, 'I enjoy the craft sessions and singers.'

Staffing is enough to meet needs but no info on low agency use or stable long-serving team.

The duty staff rota showed there were enough suitably skilled and experienced staff on duty at all times to meet people's needs and keep them safe.

Only standard training including induction and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

New staff completed induction training and there was an ongoing programme of training for all staff in topics relevant to their roles and people's needs.
