Working at Abode

Not enough staff on duty so you are always stretched thin and rushing, plus they hire people before full background checks come back.

We observed the staffing in the home was not appropriate. Staff were not always available in communal spaces to help people. Safe recruitment practices were not followed. Recruitment records had dates altered.

Medication mistakes like wrong pill counts and poor cleaning make it hard to keep people safe in your daily work.

Medicines were not safely managed. We found discrepancies in medicines records. Numerous pill counts were incorrect. The home was not always clean and tidy. Some areas required a deep clean.

Bosses miss major problems like safety risks and don't spot issues in their checks so nothing gets fixed properly.

the management had not identified many of the issues we have found. Although multiple audits and oversight tools were in place they did always not identify the issues we found during our inspection.
