"Supportive management, comprehensive training, and strong teamwork, but missing risk plans and stretched staffing during busy times are concerns."
Risk plans not always present or followed, e.g., no diabetic care plan, no seizure response plan, tube feeding instructions not followed, MAR discrepancies, mattress not on correct setting.
Staff felt supported by management, able to discuss concerns, and emphasised teamwork: 'You have to work as a team, if you don't, it doesn't work.'
Overall, staff felt staffing levels were adequate but said it could be more challenging at busy times of the day. One staff member told us, 'I would say there are enough but there are times you get that hectic period and you feel you need another member of staff.'
Staff received a comprehensive induction and ongoing training linked to people's needs such as supporting anxiety, with nurses updating clinical skills and regular one-to-one meetings for support.
Staff said they received the support they needed from management staff and the registered manager. One staff member told us, 'She (registered manager) is very supportive. Her door is always open if you have a problem.'
Two activity organisers provided daily social activities including music therapy, tai chi, fitness sessions, memory books, one-to-one sessions, and community links like school visits.
Some risk plans are missing or not followed properly, like no plan for diabetes or seizures and tube feeding instructions ignored.
A person who was diabetic did not have a care plan to show how this should be managed... no plan to tell staff what they should do to monitor and respond to them [seizures]... records did not show the instructions were followed [tube feeding].
Staff numbers are enough most times but feel stretched during busy periods when extra help is needed.
