Points to consider
Only basic training like moving people, dementia care and medicines, no specialist courses or paid-for qualifications.
Staff received training and regular updates in a range of subjects designed to help them perform their roles and meet people's needs effectively. This included areas such as moving and handling, dementia, medicines and infection control.
Activities run by a part-time person with cooking, music and themed days, but no special therapeutic programmes.
The registered manager had employed an activity person to work two days a week and an additional person to come into the home twice a month to offer music and sing along sessions... cookery sessions... celebrated both St Patrick's Day and Easter.
Small gap in infection control as staff were not split into zones to stop outbreaks spreading.
Staff were not deployed to certain areas in the home for making sure infection outbreaks can be effectively prevented or managed.
