Working at St Mary's Care Home

Medicines were received, stored, administered and disposed of safely. Staff involved in handling medicines had been trained, and their competence was regularly checked.

Staff were encouraged to attend regular meetings. They told us they felt well supported, valued, and encouraged to contribute to the development of the service.

There were enough staff to meet people's assessed needs safely.

As well as received training in a variety of subjects the provider deemed mandatory, staff also received training to help them meet people's specific needs. For example, dementia care and falls management.

The registered manager is very present and has a good knowledge of us all. She is doing her job well.

The provider employed an activities co-ordinator and various structured activities were advertised and on offer.
