Working at Churchfields Care Home

Risks to people's safety and well-being were managed through a risk management process... invested in sensor beams... no falls in people's bedrooms since. Medicines were managed safely.

Staff were motivated by and proud of the service. They told us they were empowered to excel and said, 'In my opinion this is one of the best care homes in Oxfordshire. We are proud'

There were enough staff to meet people's needs. We saw people were attended to and supported in a timely manner and staff were not rushed. People complimented the continuity of care provided by regular staff.

Further training was available to staff. One member of staff said, 'We are offered training constantly. Already completed training in dysphagia and wound management.' The provider had introduced championship roles.

The registered manager provided exceptional leadership and had developed a dedicated staff team who were committed to the vision and values of the service.

People had access to a full programme of activities... animal therapy, balloon tennis, gardening... links with toddler group... therapy animal dog... signed up for The Gold Standard Framework (GSF).
