Working at Ashton Manor Nursing Home

Staff understood their roles in safeguarding people from abuse and records showed staff responded appropriately to incidents. People's medicines were managed and administered in line with best practice.

There were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs safely and the provider had carried out checks on staff to ensure they were suitable for their roles.

Staff had completed the Care Certificate and had opportunities to take further qualifications in adult social care. Records also showed that care staff had regular one to one meetings with their supervisors.

Staff felt supported by management and were encouraged to make suggestions and communicate effectively.

People had access to a range of activities. The home employed staff that took a lead on preparing and facilitating activities. There was a timetable on display within the home which showed multiple activities each day including music, arts, exercise, reminiscing and themed events.
