Night Care workers staffing levels
2 Answers
Hi my partner works in a care home with 2 units.
the 1st has 35 residents with moderate to severe dementia.
the second has 9 residents with severe to end of life dementia.
they are currently extending both units by 5 bedrooms each.
during the night there are only 3 members of staff on duty including the supervisor. one of which has to stay in the severe to end of life unit for 2-3 hours on their own before swapping over. Does any one know the regulations on the minimum staff needed?
