Working at Chaffinch Residential Care Home

Only basic games, puzzles, films and bingo nights, no activities coordinator or regular programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care.

Games and puzzles had been bought for people to use within the house or garden. Film and bingo nights had been held.

Staffing is adequate with one carer on shift, nothing special like low workloads or long team stability mentioned.

There was one member of support staff on duty at all times. People and staff said this was enough to meet people's needs.

Only standard training and support, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff received the training and support to carry out their roles. The manager and nominated individual had increased the training available for the staff team.
