Working at Joybrook

Managers are in place but slow to spot and fix problems like staff not signing for medicines properly for weeks.

Staff had been inaccurately completing medicines administration records for two weeks, with the provider not taking action to remedy this prior to our inspection. Records also confirmed medicines had not been signed for 3 people.

Staffing is adequate but some care workers feel stretched and say more team members would help, with managers covering shifts at times.

Whilst some staff felt more staff would have been helpful the provider was actively recruiting additional staff. Where there were shortfalls staff told us that management would support in providing care for people on the floor.

Just basic activities like bingo, games and outings so most of the job is routine personal care.

Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: activities included, in house board games, sing along and music and movement... bingo but I find that boring. You do get to go out if you want to.
