Working at Cherry Tree Lodge Nursing Home

Not enough staff on shifts, so you have to rush care and people wait too long for help like feeding.

There were not enough staff to ensure people consistently received safe, good quality care that met their needs.

Gaps in mandatory training like safeguarding mean not everyone has the latest skills needed.

Training records showed not all staff had completed the provider’s mandatory training.

No activities programme or coordinator, so the job is mostly routine tasks like washing and feeding with no variety.

Absence of an activity’s coordinator meant people had very limited opportunities for meaningful activities or trips outside the home.
