"Strong safety practices and positive staff culture with good training, but no registered manager and basic activities hold it back."
Staff had received training in safeguarding and knew how to keep people safe. Risk assessments were in place... Medication was administered safely. Accidents and incidents were recorded and investigated.
Staff told us that the management team were very approachable and felt listened to. One staff member said, 'The atmosphere and the support from the manager is better. [Name of manager] changed the atmosphere so everyone is important.'
We saw there were enough staff to support people and people did not have to wait long for assistance when needed.
Staff received induction training in line with the Care Certificate. Staff were given opportunities to review their individual work and meet their development needs. Staff received on-going training to meet people's specialised needs.
There was no registered manager in post as required by law, however, the current manager was in the process of applying for registration.
There was an activities room where people could get involved in arts and crafts and play board games. Singers would visit the home and trips out were arranged where possible.
No permanent manager in post, so leadership oversight might not be fully reliable yet.

Only basic activities like arts, crafts, games, singers and occasional trips, so the role lacks variety from specialist programmes.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no details on staff retention or agency use.
