Working at The Denby at Denby Dale

Staff knew how to identify and report abuse as they had received safeguarding training. The management of medicines was found to be safe.

Staff told us they worked well together in a supportive environment.

People told us there were sufficient numbers of staff to meet their care needs. They commented that on occasions they had to wait for assistance during busier times of the day, but said staff always came.

Training completion rates were high which meant staff had the necessary skills to meet people's needs. Staff were supported to access additional training, for example, in Huntington's Disease, catheter care, pressure ulcer prevention and NVQs.

People were happy with the activities provision. During our inspection, we saw, for example, a flower arranging session, yoga and trips out into the community.
