Working at The Pines Residential Care Home

The role is mostly routine personal care, with basic activities like nail care, TV, and occasional outings or entertainers but limited variety.

Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Records indicated other activities were limited. Recorded activities included nail care and watching television.

Only standard training now up to date with supervisions and a new system coming, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for development.

Staff training records were up-to-date and action had been taken to ensure staff maintained their skills. A new training system was being introduced by the provider to further support staff development.

Staffing is adequate and enough for good care, but no evidence of stable long-term team, minimal agency, or workloads that allow unhurried personalised care.

People and staff told us there were enough staff to support people and deliver good levels of care.
