Points to consider
Staff numbers usually meet residents' needs but COVID caused staff pressures they had to work around, and levels sometimes felt low to relatives.
The provider told us they had measures in place to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19 related staff pressures. 'Staffing levels seem to vary, sometimes they’re a bit low'.
Training covers the basics with inductions, supervisions and varied modules but no specialist courses or funded qualifications mentioned.
detailed induction programmes, regular supervisions, annual appraisals and a varied training schedule for all those who were employed.
Activities include trips, pet therapy and games run by two coordinators but nothing specialist or innovative to make the role more varied.
