Working at Limewood Nursing and Residential Home

Big problems handling infections like scabies cases where staff were not protected properly and management could not confirm treatment status

Staff were not wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) despite signage indicating a scabies risk. These issues created a risk of cross-infection to residents, staff, and visitors

Management missed oversight on safety checks like water temperatures and infection control, leading to regulation breaches

Leadership lacked oversight of infection prevention and control... no evidence available that maintenance staff completed routine water temperature checks

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, just enough to meet needs with no details on low turnover or minimal agency use

The registered manager determined staffing levels in line with people’s individual support needs. One relative told us, “When I visit, they always have enough staff”
