Working at Montrose Care Home

Medicines were administered and managed safely by trained staff. Medication competency checks took place together with daily audits to ensure safety with medicines.

The service had an open and positive culture that encouraged the involvement of people, their families, staff and other professional organisations.

There were sufficient staff available to meet people's assessed care and support needs.

Staff received training and supervision to give them the skills and feel confident to carry out their roles. Staff were supported and given opportunities for additional training and personal development.

Leadership was visible and promoted teamwork. Staff spoke positively about the management team and felt supported.

The home was in the process of reviewing the activities they offered people and were planning on making improvements to their activity programme. A dedicated member of staff had been appointed to co-ordinate this.
