Working at St Ann's Lodge 1

Staff say there are enough on shift to do the work and activities without rushing, but no long-term team stability or extra staff for unhurried care mentioned.

A staff member said, “I think there is enough staff here. I have enough time to do my work. There are plenty of staff to do activities and take people to appointments.”

Only standard training to do the job safely plus regular manager check-ins, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff received relevant training and supervision to support them in their roles.

No activities coordinator or special programmes, so the role is routine care plus usual outings like discos and swimming.

A relative told us, “[Family member] goes disco, swimming and other things as well. He has a very busy life. That was his routine before he went there and this has been continued and maintained for him.”
