Working at The Hyde Care Home

Staffing is adequate with enough on shifts, but no details on team stability or agency use to make workloads easy.

There were sufficient numbers of staff to support people's needs. Staff told us they felt there were enough staff to support people safely.

Only basic training like inductions and supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.

Staff completed an induction and on-going training that provided them with the skills to carry out their roles. Training included person-centred care, emergency first aid, health and safety and moving and handling.

Varied everyday activities like painting and visits, but no special innovative programmes to make the job more interesting.

There was a varied programme of activities which were displayed on the notice board... Activities included painting, flower arranging, external entertainers. During our inspection we observed people participating in exercise sessions, singing, and painting.
