Working at Chester House Care Home

Only basic activities like occasional trips, games, movies, music, and pets, no coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more varied.

We do go out on trips now and then. We sometimes play a game or watch movies. We often have music on. People told us they enjoyed spending time with the home's resident rabbit and cockatoos.

Staffing is adequate and suitable but nothing special, no details on good retention or minimal agency use.

The provider ensured suitable staffing arrangements were in place to meet the assessed needs of people in a person-centred and timely way. People told us staff were available when they needed them.

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

Staff confirmed they received training that was relevant to their role and enhanced their skills. New staff had received a thorough induction on their appointment.
