Working at Gryphon Place

Only basic activities like games, singers, and exercise classes, so the role stays mostly routine personal care with little extra variety.

We saw examples of activities having taken place including visiting singers, games and exercise classes, which people engaged with. One relative said they would like to see more of this in the home.

Just standard mandatory training and regular supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications to build skills further.

Staff received mandatory training in areas such as mental capacity, safeguarding and first aid. Staff told us they received regular supervisions.

Mental capacity assessments and best interests records are not always fully in place, which makes some decisions more complicated for staff.

There were not always appropriate mental capacity assessments in place for specific decisions which were made for people who lacked capacity... Records were not always in place with details of how best interests' decisions had been arrived at.
