Comments in staff surveys included: • • • • • • • • • • Would refer concerns to the manager or person in charge. (information on residents) I would say it is the most detailed from where I have worked before. All in all the home is very good.

The staff look after the residents well and provide a homely atmosphere. Dorley is always looking into improving things for residents and staff which is great. I do hope the home can operate at full capacity so that we can benefit more from the company (wages). Although I wouldn’t work anywhere else now that I know Dorley. Residents need more and different activities. Staff meetings are necessary.
