Working at Alpha House - Huddersfield

Training and supervision are not up to date for all staff, so you might miss out on regular check-ins and skill development.

Staff training, supervision and appraisal were not all up to date.

Medication records have gaps and errors, and some medicines were out of date, making daily tasks riskier for you.

Medication administration records (MARs) contained some discrepancies and gaps where staff had not signed to say the medicine had been administered. One person's medicines which was required infrequently was out of date.

Managers' audits and checks do not always spot problems like medication issues or risks, so oversight feels weak.

Audits had not consistently identified areas of practice which were unsafe and required development. For example, the medication audit had not identified the concerns raised during this inspection.
