Working at The Leys Residential Home

Enough staff to give timely care, but no details on easy workloads or using hardly any agency workers.

Staff we spoke with told us staffing levels were sufficient for the needs of people at the home.

Standard training that's kept up to date plus induction supervision, but no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Staff were supported with training that was regularly reviewed and updated by the registered manager. New staff were supervised during their induction and provided with feedback.

Some activities like art, exercise and kids visits add variety, but no dedicated coordinator or special therapy programmes.

People were supported to participate in a range of different activities. We saw people pursuing art interests as well as taking part in gentle exercise. A volunteer described... links with local children.
