Working at Birchfield Residential Care Home

Just mentions an activities coordinator with no details on varied programmes or creative activities, so the role is mostly routine personal care.

the home employed an activities co-ordinator.

Some gaps in medication records like missing dates on cream openings and thickener amounts added to drinks.

For people that had topical creams prescribed, we found that staff had not recorded the date the creams were opened... staff were not recording how much thickener they added to drinks.

Only standard training with NVQs encouraged but no specialist courses or funded qualifications mentioned.

The registered manager provided a mixture of electronic and face to face training and made sure staff were up to date. Staff were encouraged to complete their NVQs in care.
