Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but they use some familiar agency staff and existing team cover leave and sickness, so not always the full regular team on shift.
Where required the home used consistent and familiar agency staff to maintain safe staffing levels. We were told existing staff also helped to cover annual leave and sickness.
