Is continual rotation of staff (staff moves every 6 months) in care homes good practice? – Georgina

Dear Georgina,

In small and medium sized care homes there isn’t the opportunity for continual rotation.

In larger organisations this may happen but it is a matter for the home’s management, there isn’t a right way or a wrong way although I personally would favour continuity of care.
