Charleville Nursing Home

Staffing

The home had appropriate numbers and skill mix of staff for the 56 residents present, including 24-hour nursing with a minimum of two nurses on duty daily. Staff received training in fire safety, manual handling, safeguarding, dementia care, and infection control, though training on outbreak detection and management was insufficient.

Activities

Two activity coordinators provide a varied programme including exercise and reminiscence sessions. Residents can choose whether to participate and have access to outings and advocacy services. Residents meetings are held quarterly to discuss the running of the centre.

Food

Residents are offered a choice of meals with good quality and variety. Assistance is provided respectfully and unhurriedly. Menus are displayed in dining rooms and residents can eat in their rooms or dining areas.

Dementia

The home provides dementia care and staff received training in dementia care and managing responsive behaviours. Residents with responsive behaviours were treated respectfully and restrictive practices were low.
