Working at Alvony House Residential Care Home

Some new staff started without full checks like a reference from their last job or their own background check.

People were not always supported by staff who had checks completed in line with the providers recruitment policy. For example, one staff had no reference from their previous employer. Another member of staff had a DBS from a previous employer.

Only basic activities like quizzes, bingo, music and reminiscing, no activities coordinator or special programmes to vary the job.

People could participate in activities. These included a church service, carol singing, quiz's, reading books, listening to music, bingo and reminiscing over old photos.
