Working at Anita Stone Court

Staff we spoke with understood what to do to make sure people were protected from harm or abuse and the signs to look out for if someone was at risk of being abused.

One member of staff told us, 'The manager is supportive and has helped me to develop. The staff members are really helpful and I feel there are no improvements to be made.'

Overall, staff we spoke with told us they thought there were enough staff on duty to support people. Some staff felt the home could benefit from additional staff members however we saw there were additional staff in the process of being recruited.

New staff received an induction which included completing required training and shadowing more experienced staff. The head of care quality explained the provider had recently introduced... the Care Certificate.

People, their relatives and staff told us they felt listened to and that the management team were approachable.

There was an emphasis on the provision of activities that were meaningful... the provider introduced the wish tree project... Children from the local school visit the service on a regular basis and... taking part in craft making activities.
