Working at Elvaston Lodge Nursing Home

Staff numbers are sufficient but they are reviewing their tools after advice to check if the mix of skills fits needs better.

The registered manager advised us that following guidance from health care stakeholders, they were reviewing other dependency tools to ensure they were using up to date guidance.

Only standard training like safeguarding and mental capacity mentioned, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Systems were in place to manage safeguarding incidents and staff were trained in safeguarding people from abuse.

Variety of basic activities available but no coordinator or special programmes like pet therapy, so role lacks creative variety.

We saw throughout the day a variety of activities were available to people.
