"A family-like culture and stable long-serving team make staff proud and supported, although activities lack a dedicated coordinator."
Staff had a good understanding of safeguarding responsibilities and confident reporting. Medicines managed well with regular audits; incidents recorded, actioned and monitored for trends.
Staff told us, 'We are like a family, we all get on really well... It's a really good team'. Staff were proud of the service and very happy, with most having worked there many years.
The staff team were consistent as the majority of them had worked at the service for many years. Staff confirmed they were not short staffed and covered most absences between themselves, using the same agency staff when needed.
Training was up to date and staff were encouraged to pursue their personal development. Staff continued to receive specialist training such as diabetes training, with regular supervision and appraisals.
Staff told us they were approachable and listened to their views and suggestions. Staff told us the management team were very supportive.
People had access to activities such as bowling, cinema, pub lunches, shopping, disco nights, takeaways, day trips and garden games, planned based on the group staying.
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly personal care plus supporting standard outings like bowling and cinema.
Planned activities were fully dependant on the group of people staying at the time and what they decided they wanted to do... bowling, cinema, pub lunches and shopping.
