"Staff receive thorough training and feel supported in a positive family-like culture, but no registered manager yet and basic activities hold it back."
People were protected from the risk of being abused. Records confirmed people had risk assessments in place to keep them safe... Staff were recruited to the service following the providers recruitment policy and procedure. People were supported to receive their medicines safely.
Staff told us they could speak to the manager and provider if they needed support. A staff member said, 'Staff morale has really improved, knowing the manager will listen to what we say and act on it is good.' The manager said, 'It's team work here, we are like a family we all support where we can.'
There were enough staff to meet people's needs. The manager and deputy were aware more staff were required and the provider was in the process of recruiting more staff to provide additional support especially around mealtimes and activities.
Staff completed training in the following areas: safeguarding, food hygiene, basic first aid, covid-19, moving and assisting, oral health care, autism, nutrition, bed rails, diabetes, infection control and challenging behaviour. Staff told us they received good support and had supervision with the manager.
At the time of our inspection there was not a registered manager in post. A new manager had been in post for one month and had submitted an application to register.
Different activities took place within the service to ensure people could participate in what they enjoyed. During the inspection we observed people take part in a game of bingo. A notice board displayed different activities that were going to take place each week. People could enjoy board games, music, arts and crafts exercise and those who wished to attend could join a church service at the home.
No permanent manager in post yet, even though a new one started recently.
