Working at Drake Nursing Home

Only standard induction and mandatory training, specialist dementia training still being developed.

Staff were supported with an induction that covered basic mandatory training, shadowing and competency assessing. The service was developing training to ensure staff had completed bespoke training... enhance the dementia support.

Activities are regular with dedicated staff but basic like colouring, puzzles and music sessions, no specialist therapeutic programmes.

The service had two dedicated activities staff who supported people to engage in activities... colouring, reading newspapers, doing puzzles. We observed one activity where a musician played the guitar and people had instruments to play.
