Working at St Antony's Care Home

The manager's checks missed safety issues like faulty fire doors and uncovered radiators, so oversight lacks sharpness.

these audits had also failed to identify and/or take action to ensure all the care home radiators had been risk assessed and/or suitably covered... The provider failed to identify these issues despite conducting regular health and safety checks of the premises.

Fire doors propped open, uncovered radiators, and trip hazards mean you have to stay extra vigilant to prevent accidents.

half a dozen fire-resistant doors we tested at random did not close properly into their frames when released and several other doors had been propped open with door wedges or chairs... several trip hazards in doorways leading from the kitchen and dining room to the rear garden.

Only basic cultural events now and then, no regular activities or coordinator, so the job is mostly routine care tasks.

Records maintained about activities and events at the service, showed staff actively supported people to meet their specific needs by arranging dedicated events and occasions to openly celebrate these in an inclusive way.
