Points to consider
Staff numbers are enough to keep people safe but residents do not always get as much one-on-one time as they expect and they rely on agency staff while still recruiting.
although the service was sufficiently staffed to manage identified risks, other people using the service were not always receiving the staff input they expected. The provider acknowledged that staffing had recently been a challenge... use of agency staff... Ongoing staff recruitment was in progress.
