Working at Comberton Nursing Home

Management of medicines were not effective in identifying concerns and meant medicines was not always managed or stored correctly. Medicine stock counts completed in the home did not identify shortages of medicines stock.

At the time of this inspection the home did not have sufficient staffing to maintain a safe day to day running of the service provided. For example, during our visit we observed times where 1 staff member was present where 11 people were eating their lunch.

Staff had gaps in essential training meaning they were not trained in all areas to providing people's care. The registered manager had a training matrix in place to monitor staffs training. This identified gaps in training for the staff team, including courses such as, safeguarding, pressure care and fire safety training.

There was a lack of activities and no planned activities were scheduled. This meant we found people were sat in the same position for periods of time.
