Working at Fleetwood Nursing Home

Lots of staff are missing training on basics like safeguarding, first aid, and safely moving people.

Training levels were poor in some key subjects. For example: safeguarding, emergency first aid, health and safety awareness, moving and handling and information governance.

Managers did not spot safety risks like fire problems because their checks were not working well.

Though audits and checks were in place, these were not always effective. A number of concerns around quality assurance, risks and regulatory requirements were identified during inspection and management monitoring had not picked this up.

Fire safety issues like doors held open and confusing evacuation plans put people at risk.

During inspection we observed bedroom doors were propped open with manual door wedges against guidance. Periodic fire drills and safety checks had not always been carried out as per the home's policy.
