Working at Langley Park Care Home

Staffing is adequate even during outbreaks but nothing special with no details on retention or agency use.

There were enough staff to support people. The home was experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19 at the time of our inspection. Contingency plans were in place which ensured there were enough staff to support people when some staff members had to self-isolate.

Only standard training and supervisions with no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff were trained and had the appropriate skills to care for people. They completed regular training to keep their knowledge up to date. Staff felt supported in their roles. They received regular supervisions and an annual appraisal.

Activities programme with coordinator and range of options but no specialist or innovative approaches.

The provider employed a wellbeing co-ordinator to ensure people were supported to take part in a range of activities within the home. As the weather had started to improve, more trips out were planned.
