Working at Kineton Manor Nursing Home

Staff lack training in specialist areas like preparing thickened drinks and modified foods safely.

we found a lack of knowledge and understanding across the staff team on how to deliver nutritional support in line with the IDDSI standards.

Staffing is adequate but had recent shortages that were only recently fixed.

People and their relatives told us there had been some recent variation in staffing levels. However, they said this had been addressed by the new registered manager.

Activities programme runs basic events like quizzes and crafts, but they need to hire more staff to expand options.

the provider recognised this was an area for improvement. They were recruiting another member of staff so they could increase the opportunities.
