Working at Rodina House

Staff had a good understanding of safeguarding procedures. People's medicines were ordered, stored, administered and disposed of safely. Risks were well managed and helped people to remain safe whilst promoting their independence.

Staff told us they felt supported and could discuss any concerns with the provider. There was a happy and relaxed atmosphere at the home, with lots of friendly conversations and laughter.

There were enough staff working to provide the support people needed. The provider ensured there was always an extra staff member working at peak times, such as when medicines were being given.

Staff were supported to continue their learning and development through further training. This included Diploma in Health and Social Care in levels 2, 3 and 5. Staff received regular supervision, this helped identify any areas where further support or development was required.

There was an activity programme which people enjoyed participating in as they wished. People told us they were able to take part in a variety of activities... Some of the staff bring in their dogs sometimes, and there's an organisation that brings in other animals... ball games and sing-songs... exercise sessions in the garden.
