Staff perspective
Family reviews tell you how care feels from the outside. But the people delivering that care have their own story — about workload, management, and whether they feel supported to do their job well.
The Care Home Check report checks employee feedback from recruitment platforms to check whether staff satisfaction aligns with what families experience.
