Working at Acorn Hollow General Nursing Home

Staffing is adequate with consistent rotas, but no details on staff staying long-term or low use of agency workers.

We reviewed staffing rotas which showed consistent numbers of staff were in place. This helped ensure people's needs were being met in a safe manner.

Only standard training like moving people and basic life support, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff had received the training they needed to carry out their roles effectively. They had completed training in areas such as moving and handling, basic life support, nutrition and hydration, promoting healthy skin and the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

Activities include arts, crafts, trips and church visits with a coordinator, but no special named programmes or advanced approaches.

There was a 'wellbeing co-ordinator' in post who was in charge of organising activities. People confirmed that there were activities for them to participate in, such as day trips and arts and crafts.
