Working at Perry Locks Care Home

People were kept safe. Staff understood how to protect people from risk of harm... People received their prescribed medicines when required by trained staff... There were some gaps in the recording of medicines and administration of topical creams.

Staff we spoke with told us they enjoyed working on their units and spending time with the people who lived there. One staff member said, 'I love my job and residents. I would recommend it to anyone.'

Staff told us they thought the training was good... Records we looked at showed recently recruited care staff worked through work books and were regularly assessed by senior staff. Staff we spoke with all confirmed they received one to one supervision on a regular basis.

The registered manager understood their role and responsibilities and staff felt supported and listened to. People and staff were complimentary about the leadership and management of the home and said the registered manager was friendly and approachable.

There were activity coordinators... organised trips out... Perry Locks social club where people could meet... Activities such as bingo and 'movie' afternoons... external organisations come into the units to provide additional activities.
