Care home staff worry ‘outdated processes’ and obsolete practices impacting quality of care
Two thirds of care home staff (66 per cent) say the quality of resident care and the ability to cater properly for dietary and nutritional needs, are some of the key areas being side-lined as a result of obsolete practices, according to new survey.
An independent survey commissioned by eProcurement technology firm Zupa, has raised several concerns from care home professionals across the UK with 86 per cent saying vital aspects of care provision are suffering at the hands of outdated and time-consuming procedures, with many staff struggling to fulfil their day to day roles.
Over half of workers (54 per cent) felt staff happiness was overlooked, with 44 per cent attributing high turnover to low pay levels.
