"Staff get good training and feel supported, but no permanent manager and incomplete risk assessments hold it back."
Risks associated with people's care were not always fully assessed and some care plans lacked sufficient detail to mitigate those risks... information about when people had 'as and when required' medicines required more detail.
Staff told us they felt supported by the provider's management team. One staff member said, 'I feel very supported and can talk to [service manager's name] or other senior staff whenever I need to.'
There were enough staff to meet people's needs safely and provide person centred care. Staff rotas demonstrated people received the right amount of support at the right time.
