Working at The Mayfield Care Home

Whilst we did not find any errors in medicines administration... we identified improvements were needed in the records and care plans for medicines. The provider took action during our inspection to review and update medicines records.

We received mixed feedback on staffing levels. Whilst some people told us there could be more staff, most people told us there were sufficient staff deployed to provide care that met people’s needs, in a timely and unrushed way.

Staff received effective training, support, supervision and development. Staff told us the training was good and there were extra courses about people’s specific needs such as health conditions.

There was a wide range of activities on offer; both within the home and in the wider community. People told us they enjoyed the range of activities... baby goats visiting... seated exercises and tai chi... local area events and festivals.
