Working at Ashlea Lodge

Staff numbers are enough to cover shifts but nothing special, no info on staff sticking around long-term or rarely needing agency cover.

There was enough competent staff to meet service user needs.

Only standard induction training and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Staff were safely recruited and received an induction followed by training from the provider. Training was monitored and staff were supported with regular meetings and supervisions.

Activities are basic like local outings with a new coordinator just recruited, so days can still feel routine.

Relatives were positive about the activities provided. A relative commented, 'The staff have done a good job of providing activities to people, I know they have recruited a new person for this so I'm sure they'll get even better.'
