Working at Athorpe Lodge

Staff felt the home was well managed and they told us the management team were very approachable and supportive. One staff member said, “Staff work as a team, I am well supported.”

There were sufficient staff on duty to meet people’s needs and to deliver good quality care and support. Staff told us there were enough staff available to meet people’s needs effectively.

Staff told us they received training and support and felt the management team were very approachable. One staff member said, “I receive training online and in house. I have just signed up for end of life training and signed up for NVQ level 5.”

The home had 2 activity co-ordinators who promoted social engagement. People were supported to access a local coffee and bingo for the local community, a church service took place monthly at the home, and people were supported on many outings to various place of interest.
