Working at Field View

Only basic support for personal hobbies like art and coin collecting, no regular activities programme or coordinator to vary the daily routine.

People's individual hobbies and interests were known, and they were supported with these. For example, one person had been helped to start a coin collection and another with their interest in art.

Some staff had not had their skills for giving medication checked in the last year.

some staff's competency to do this safely had not been assessed within the last 12 months in line with best practice guidance.

Staffing is adequate with enough people on shift, but nothing extra to allow unhurried care.

All of the staff we spoke with said there were enough staff available to keep people safe and to meet their needs.
