Working at Nightingales Nursing Home

Staffing is adequate most days but they use agency workers and weekends can feel tighter.

“Most times they do [have enough staff] and they are not so bad at weekends.” The registered manager told us when using agency staff they sought to employ the same staff members.

Only standard training like safeguarding and supervisions mentioned, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff had received safeguarding training and knew how to identify and report abuse... Staff completed training in MCA and understood the concept of consent.

Some areas not clean enough with grime and chipped paint, raising germ risks while doing care tasks.

not all areas of Nightingales Nursing Home were clean. Dining room chair legs were dirty with a build-up of black grime. We saw chipped paintwork throughout the home.
