Working at Thornton Lodge Care Home

Staff had received safeguarding training and had an understanding about abuse and how to report any concerns. Medicines were ordered, stored, recorded and administered safely.

Staff told us there was a positive culture at the home, with good team work throughout. One member of staff said, "Everything is going well for me and I enjoy the job."

Staff told us they received enough training and supervision to support them in their roles. The homes training matrix detailed the training staff had completed and this included dementia, first aid, fire safety, infection control, moving and handling and safeguarding.

The home had a registered manager in post who had worked at the home for many years. The feedback we received about management and leadership was positive.
