Working at Amberley Court Care Home

Activities team runs regular outings and group events like school links, but no specialist programmes or innovative therapies to vary the role beyond basic care.

Activity co-ordinators were in place to support people to take part in activities... small team of staff to support people with activities they were interested in, 7 days a week... children from a local primary school had sent in letters.

Staff get up-to-date training with good inductions and supervision, but no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Staff told us they felt well trained and their training was up to date. Records seen reflected this... regular supervision meetings.

Staffing meets needs with recent extra nurses hired, but no details on staff retention or agency use to ensure stable teams.

People told us there were enough staff... 'Yes we have a lot of staff'... 3 additional nurses had been recruited... over recruited so we can admit people safely.
