Working at Asprey Court Care Home

Some risk plans and care plans lacked full details on spotting and handling risks like self-harm, and safeguarding checks are still ongoing.

We discussed where there was a risk of self-harm for some people, additional information was needed, so the escalation process was clear. There were a few safeguarding investigations still in progress and the outcomes of these were not known.

Staffing is enough to get by but relatives notice staff looking busy at times.

One relative said, 'The staff are very busy, but there is always someone about, there is always a staff member present in the lounge area.'

No standout specialist activity programmes or tech beyond basics, so days are varied but not super creative.

Asprey Court won the West Midlands Care Association. 'Seasonal Decoration Competition', which was a huge project that involved the residents with lots of arts and crafts.
