6/10

Points to consider
No specialist activities programmes or coordinator, so the role involves routine care plus basic local trips and outings.
People had individual timetables of activities, which included trips to local amenities, including shops, cafes, leisure and entertainment centres.
Training is standard with induction and supervisions, but no structured competency checks for complex care skills before the inspection.
we found there wasn't a structured competency based assessment in place, to assess whether staff were competent to deliver this level of care.
Staffing feels adequate now but adding an extra night worker will make a massive difference, suggesting nights can feel stretched.
A staff member told us, 'I believe we have enough staff. The additional member of staff that will work nights will make a massive difference to the people.'
