Working at The Boltons

Only basic activities like art, music, quizzes and park visits led by care workers, no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes.

Care workers led various daily activities during the lockdowns. This included the use of differing activities such as art, music and quizzes.

Only standard mandatory training like the Care Certificate and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff completed a mandatory induction and set of standards specific to the location. This included the Care Certificate. Some staff had completed additional qualifications in health and social care.

Staffing is adequate to meet needs with some new staff in induction, but nothing special like low agency use or strong retention mentioned.

Sufficient staff were deployed to meet people's needs. At the time of the inspection, two care workers were completing their induction.
