Working at Cherry Leas Care Home

No activities coordinator or regular programme, just basic stuff like nails and chatting, so the job is mostly routine personal care.

People had fed back that they liked to get their nails done and for staff to chat with them. The service was decorated in a festive way to celebrate Halloween.

Training is up to date but only standard mandatory stuff, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

The training programme was reviewed and showed that training was up to date. Moving and handling training had been booked for the staff team but had been postponed.

Staffing is adequate now after past shortages, but nothing special like low agency use or strong retention mentioned.

At our last inspection the provider had failed to ensure there were enough suitably qualified, competent and experienced staff to support people's needs. At this inspection there were enough staff available to support people with their care needs.
