Key Finding
"Staff feel supported by a welcoming manager and receive good training, but tick-box audits miss problems and call bells ring too long."
Safety & Risk
6/10
✓
People received their medicines safely... Risks were assessed and updated... We found some improvements could be made to ensure staff had enough information to support safe diabetes care on the residential unit... This was addressed immediately.
Staff Culture
6/10
✓
Staff told us the registered manager was very supportive which created a positive atmosphere... 'The manager is very supportive and happy to listen... Her door is always open which feels welcoming'.
Staffing Levels
5/10
!
Most people told us they felt there were enough staff on duty to meet their needs. However, some people felt staff did not always arrive promptly when they called for assistance... During our visit we heard alarm bells were ringing for periods of time.
Training & Dev
6/10
✓
Staff told us they received medicines training and their competency had been assessed... Staff told us they were encouraged to undertake further training so they could develop their careers... I am already doing my level 4.
Management
4/10
!
We found when some of those checks were delegated to others, there was limited scrutiny to ensure those checks were completed correctly and any improvements were addressed.
Programmes
5/10
!
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: Planned activities included quizzes, film club, knit and natter, music therapy, creative mobility or one to one conversations... Local community groups were also invited into the home.
Points to consider
Management does audits but they are often just tick-box checks that miss problems and do not lead to fixes.
We reviewed examples of completed audits and checks. We found some of these checks were more of a tick box exercise rather than driving the changes needed.
Staffing levels are enough most of the time but call bells ring too long sometimes and help is not always quick.
Some people felt staff did not always arrive promptly when they called for assistance... During our visit we heard alarm bells were ringing for periods of time.
No activities programme or coordinator mentioned in the recent inspection so the role may be mostly routine care now.
No activities or engagement programmes described in 2023 inspection report.
