Working at Oakworth Manor Care Home

Manager splits time with another home and is only here one day a week, so day-to-day leadership and support feels distant.

The registered manager was responsible for another location a significant distance away. They spent one day a week at Oakworth Manor Care Home.

Safety processes have gaps like inconsistent incident reviews, hand washing lapses before meds, and poor medication guidance.

Staff who administered medication did not sufficiently wash or sanitise their hands... medication which was needed ‘as and when required’ did not have robust or detailed guidance... most incidents which occurred... did not benefit from the same level of documentary review.

Activities are mentioned as interesting but no coordinator or structured programme details, so the role might stick to routine care.

They also said the service provided lots of interesting activities to keep people physically and mentally active.
