Working at Roselands Residential Care Home

Activities are basic like walks and quizzes with some residents bored, so the role is mostly routine personal care.

People using the service and their relatives had mixed views about the activities provided at the service. Comments included, "I do get bored." "They do nothing in the lounge just sit and watch television."

Staffing is adequate but manager covers absences, so shifts might get busy at times.

Staff told us and records confirmed that the registered manager covered absences due to training, annual leave and sickness.

Only standard training with some extras but no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Staff received training and refresher courses to equip them with the skills required to meet people's needs. Staff benefited from additional training specific to the needs of people living in the home.
