Working at Bridgeway Care Home

No activities programme or coordinator, so the role is mostly routine care with basic support like shopping trips on request.

A person said, 'I don't go out very much as there does not seem to be enough staff.'

Manager also runs another care home, which could mean less time for oversight and support here.

Although there was a registered manager in post, they were also the proprietor of this home and another, which could cause difficulties in providing a high level of oversight for Bridgeway Care Home.

Medication safety issues like thickener powder left unlocked and no records of how much was used in drinks.

We found a container of 'thickener' left in a communal area, which was not locked away... Staff did not record how much thickener they added to people's drinks.
