Working at Beaumont Nursing Home

People received safe care and support... Staff understood safeguarding procedures... Risks to people's safety were assessed and well managed... Staff received training in relation to the safe administration of medicines and their competencies were checked... Infection control measures were robustly followed.

Effective communication systems were in place to ensure the whole of the staff team were involved in daily decisions. One member of staff told us, 'The communication is really good, we feel listened to and valued. We have daily handovers, and the manager works with us on the floor, so we are a close team.'

Staff said there were sufficient numbers of staff to make sure people's needs were met and to ensure their care was not rushed. One staff member commented, 'We do have enough staff and we are not rushed. We don't use agency staff because we all cover any shifts that need to be covered.'

People, relatives, and staff were very positive about the leadership of the service and praised the management team highly. Staff felt well supported and said the registered manager was open and approachable.
