Working at Evergreen Lodge

Risks to people were assessed and their safety was monitored. Medicines were safely managed by staff with the right training and skills. People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse with clear records of incidents maintained.

Staff were proud of the improvements that had been achieved since the last inspection. One staff member told us; 'I feel like we have all worked so hard to get things better. We are all proud and passionate about what we have achieved.'

Safe recruitment processes were followed and there was the right amount of suitably skilled and qualified staff deployed across the service to safely meet people's needs. People told us there were enough staff to meet their needs.

Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: People were encouraged to join in a selection of activities available in the home, as well as pursue their own personal interests and hobbies. There were regular opportunities for people to join in activities or trips out including church, football club and cinema.
