I worked in a nursing home once for 4 hours..... I walked out in the end and cried buckets when I got home.... the care in that place was shocking...and YES, it was reported. |
Absolutely. It’s important that staff feel they can talk to their managers and that managers are prepared to listen. A good whistle blowing policy is fundamental to good caring as is adult protection training. Of increasing importance is mental capacity, respect for the preferences of service users. There are so many views and opinions in regards to care practice today as well as government initiatives and white papers that are intended to improve care delivery, and What’s really needed is a properly trained, well motivated work force delivering good old person centre care.
