"Safe systems and a happy supportive staff team stand out, but no registered manager yet, agency staffing and limited activities hold it back."
Safe systems were in place with regards to safeguarding procedures, staff recruitment, the management and administration of people's medicines and infection control procedures. Effective monitoring systems were in place; these include incidents and falls.
A review of staff meeting minutes showed staff felt morale was improving, the team worked well and supported each other. People told us... 'Staff seem happy here and know what they are doing'.
On-going recruitment was taking place. Where necessary agency staff were utilised... mixed response from people in relation to staffing levels. One person said, 'There never seems to be enough staff' whilst another added, 'usually enough staff on duty, although they are always very busy'.
At the time of our inspection the registered manager had resigned. The deputy manager had been appointed as the new manager. Application to CQC to register was to be completed.
People said activities and opportunities were provided such as bingo and outside entertainers. However, people said these were limited, adding, 'I am happy here but there is nothing to do and it can get quite boring'.
