Working at 26 Brookside Avenue

Some issues with storing and checking medicines safely, like the drugs cabinet not fixed to the wall and no second checks on records.

The controlled drugs cabinet was not secured to the wall. We identified that some medicine records were filled in by hand by one staff member, there was no evidence that a second staff member had checked the accuracy of these records.

Activities depend on what people choose each day, with no structured programme or coordinator to add variety to your shifts.

We observed people were supported to engage in activities of their choosing and live independent lives.

Staffing is adequate with enough people on shift, but nothing extra like low agency use or strong team retention mentioned.

There were enough staff to support people. We observed that staff were available to respond to people's needs quickly.
