Working at Forest Grange Care Home

Staff numbers are good enough for one-to-one care but no details on long-term staff retention or agency use.

We saw that there were sufficient staff to keep people safe and to support people's needs. We saw that staff had time to spend with people as well as complete daily tasks such as cleaning and cooking and administrative staff were employed to carry out other tasks.

Activities are regular community outings and trips but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to add extra creativity to the role.

People had the opportunity to go out on trips and activities in the local community in line with Registering the Right Support. People attended classes at local colleges, enjoyed trips to local pubs and restaurants and had recently gone on a summer holiday to Blackpool.
