Points to consider
Staff numbers cover daily care okay but they call in floating staff from other homes for extras like activities.
the provider had a number of homes in the area and often had workers, known as 'floating workers', available for deployment when needed. For example, if a person wanted to do an activity which required additional staff the house manager could ask the 'floating worker' to help.
Training includes induction and updates with a coordinator but no specialist courses or paid-for qualifications.
New staff received an induction and then a programme of ongoing training and updates as needed. The provider employed a training co-ordinator
