Points to consider
Staff numbers are okay but they use agency workers when needed, even regular ones.
they had recently recruited more staff and if they needed to use agency they used the same regular agency staff.
Only standard training like the care certificate and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
staff were also supported to complete national recognised qualifications such as the care certificate. Staff received supervision and had yearly appraisals.
Varied activities like trips, pampering and cultural events but no specialist therapeutic programmes.
We go out on the minibus to the seaside... each month focussing on different countries around the globe celebrating different cultures.
