Working at Danescourt

Staff had a clear understanding of safeguarding and what action to take if abuse suspected. People's medicines were well managed with daily audits.

The staffing rota showed that staffing levels were consistently maintained. Staff told us there were enough staff on each shift to meet people's needs.

Staff had been provided with essential training including manual handling, managing violence and aggression, fire safety, basic life support, first aid and food hygiene.

There was a manager in post who had run the home since it reopened; staff felt well led and supported by a manager who was approachable and listened to them.

Each person had an activity plan with a combination of activities in the home and local community based on their interests.
