Working at Grove Lodge Care Home

Risks weren't always fixed quickly and some staff missed fire training or drills.

Processes to assess and manage risk were in place but had not always led to timely action to address any environmental issues. Some staff had not yet completed their fire training or participated in a fire drill.

Only standard mandatory training with some gaps, no specialist courses mentioned.

Work was ongoing to ensure staff were fully compliant with all mandatory training... the mandatory training on supporting people with learning disabilities and autism had not yet been completed by all staff.

Just basic outings like shopping and church visits, nothing more creative or structured.

People were supported to follow interest and take part in activities... supported to attend church, another person was regular support to go shopping whilst others were supported to go out for walks or on trips out.
