Working at Angel Mount Care Home

Recruitment checks are weak with gaps in job applications and references sometimes from friends instead of recent bosses.

References were not always obtained from the staff members most recent employer and in some cases were from a close friend or relative with no further assessment in place to ensure risks were mitigated.

Medication records miss details like exact times painkillers were given.

when regularly prescribed painkillers were administered, the actual time was not recorded.

Activities are regular but basic like singing, dancing and colouring with no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes.

Activities were taking place which included group and 1-1 activity... We witnessed a range of activities taking place including a singer... dancing... colouring and using the electronic tabletop activity table.
