Working at Charlton Court Nursing Home

Medication storage has problems like out-of-date bottles and incomplete records, so you need to double-check everything on your shifts.

we found bottles of medicine that were either out of date or did not have a date of opening recorded.

Staffing levels meet basic needs but staff say they lack time to sit and chat with residents.

some staff felt that they did not have enough time to sit and talk with people.

Activities are limited with only part-time coordinator hours, so your days are mostly routine personal care.

the activity coordinator only works for 25 hours per week, however in that time they organise lots of different activities... however one relative told us “...not enough going on to ensure people are occupied.”
