Working at Forest Lodge Care Home

No permanent registered manager in place yet, even though there is someone recently starting the process.

Whilst there was no registered manager in post when we visited there was a manager of the service who had recently been confirmed in post and was in the process of registering with the CQC.

Serious safety gaps like medication recording errors and violence risks not updated in plans.

discrepancies occurred in recording the administration of medicine’s which meant that it could not be guaranteed that it was administered in a safe way... incidents recording serios threats of violence which included using a cutlery knife which had not been recorded in the person’s risk assessment.

Few activities on offer so the job is mostly routine personal care.

They told us that they would like to see their relatives engaged in more activities including going out into the local community.
