Working at Dundoran Nursing and Residential Home

Staffing gets stretched at busy times like after dinner, with residents saying there are not enough staff when needs are challenging.

One person commented, 'We need more staff especially after dinner in the lounge when people’s needs can become more challenging. It gets far too difficult for the staff as there are just not enough of them.'

Only standard necessary training with no mention of specialist courses or career development.

Staff received the training they needed to support people. A staff member told us, 'I have received all necessary training.'

Basic range of social activities and simple items like sensory mats or kindle for bedbound residents, no specialist programmes.

People told us they could access a range of social activities. A staff member told us, 'I have ordered a bed keyboard and a kindle, and I also use sensory mats for activities in bed.'
