6/10

Programmes
4/10
!
Activities programme with weekly schedule observed but consistency varied due to absence of full-time coordinator.
Points to consider
No full-time activities person right now, so activities are hit and miss and your days might feel mostly routine personal care.
The current absence of a full-time coordinator had impacted upon activity completion. This position was being advertised.
Enough staff most days but they pull in agency workers or staff from other homes to cover gaps.
We always have enough staff, they get staff from other HC-One homes, and if none are available, get in agency staff, to cover any shortages.
Just the basic required training for most staff, nothing extra like specialist courses or funded qualifications.
93 percent of staff were currently up to date with required training, with the remaining staff scheduled to complete any outstanding sessions.
