Working at Pear Tree Lodge Residential Home

Staff knew how to safeguard people from the risk of abuse. Medicines were managed and administered safely. Risk assessments were in place to address any identified risk.

Staff told us that they felt valued by the management team. Regular staff meetings were held to keep staff informed of developments and receive feedback.

There were sufficient staff available to meet people's needs. A dependency assessment was carried out for each person which was reviewed monthly.

Staff completed an induction and training programme. Training for staff was updated regularly. Staff received ongoing support and development through supervisions and appraisal.

The programme for the week of our inspection included music therapy, exercises, and a shopping outing. People praised activities like knitting, puzzles, singing, arts and crafts.
