Working at Cherry Tree Care Home

Medication storage has problems like unlocked fridge and no temperature checks, so you have to be extra careful handling meds.

the medicines fridge... was not locked when we arrived. Other than the medicines fridge, maximum/minimum storage temperatures for medicines were not being recorded.

Only basic activities like quizzes, cards and occasional events, so the job is mostly routine personal care with little variety.

Some family members and staff identified that there could be a greater variety of activities provided... They have quizzes and exercises. I play cards downstairs, all sorts of things.

Enough staff usually but fewer on weekends, so those shifts can feel busier.

There’s enough staff on weekdays, there’s less at the weekends but you can always find someone.
