Working at Foxholes Care Home

Basic activities like bingo, games, puzzles, singalongs and walks but no coordinator or special programmes to make the job more interesting.

Per 2019: "There is always something going on such as Church services, sing a longs, games, puzzles and daily walks in the lovely gardens."

Staffing mostly enough but sickness hits levels sometimes and managers cover shifts, weekends quieter.

"Some staff told us that staff sickness at times impacted on the home. The registered manager and deputy manager advised they at times cover shifts... At weekends there are less staff around but always someone available."

Standard training with supervisions and weekly updates but no specialist courses or qualifications funded.

"We reviewed the training matrix and saw training was completed. There was also a record of regular supervision... We do a weekly focus which changes each week."
