Key Finding
"Supportive management and positive culture shine through with strong safety measures, but staffing lacks stable teams and training stays basic."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
When any cases of Covid 19 were suspected or confirmed, the flat where the person lived was completely locked down. Two members of staff worked exclusively in that flat on alternating shifts until the person recovered or the period of isolation ended.
Staff Culture
7/10
✓
Staff told us they felt supported by the registered manager and the senior staff team. There was a positive, open and honest atmosphere within the service. (Per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
The recruitment practices ensured suitable staff were employed to work at the service and staff were employed in sufficient numbers to meet people's needs. (Per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Training & Dev
6/10
✓
Staff received an induction and ongoing training that enabled them to have the skills and knowledge to provide effective care. Staff told us, and records showed they received supervision. (Per 2019 comprehensive inspection)
Management
