People we spoke with did say staffing levels could be improved. Comments from people included, "Having more staff would be good; sometimes I could do with more help;" "They could do with another person," and "I have no complaints; [the home] just could do with more staff." We observed care staff were under pressure on one unit at the lunch time service on our first day of inspection, and senior staff were available to assist.
