Working at Heathlands House

Staffing is enough to get by but staff say they could do more one-to-one with residents if there were extra people on shift.

There is enough staff, but we could always have more to do more with the residents.

Training covers the basics with some extras planned but no funded specialist courses or regular check-ins mentioned.

We reviewed the training records and saw most training was up to date, and those that were due, were flagged and booked in. In addition, further courses were planned for specific areas such as Autism, diabetes and end of life care.

Activities offer variety like crafts, book club and outings but no full-time activities lead or special therapy programmes.

We are doing Valentine card making this afternoon, we are going to start a book club and the Fitzwilliam museum are bringing in some art. I have also asked the mobile library to call.
