Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but occasionally stretched, like one carer for four residents on a shift.
Per 2017: 'At the time of our arrival... one member of staff was in the home with four people. We do not feel that people's safety was compromised'
Only standard training and induction like the Care Certificate, nothing specialist or funded qualifications.
Per 2017: 'robust induction programme... nationally recognised Care Certificate... training in line with best practice'
