Working at Adlington Manor

Frequent agency staff mean you often work with unfamiliar team members who may not know residents well, and shifts feel rushed.

There's usually only one regular on each floor and different agency every day.

Risk assessments and care plans lack detail on falls, skin care and diabetes, leaving unclear guidance for staff.

Care plans lacked detail for people with specific conditions, such as diabetes, and did not demonstrate that associated risk including feet and eye care had been considered.

No activities coordinator means limited events like themed days or games only when staff have spare time, so the role is mostly routine care.

There was no activity lead in post and staff were fulfilling this role where time allowed... One person said, 'There are not many activities. Nothing exciting anyway.'
