Key Finding
"Responsive management, supportive culture and strong safety stand out, but unclear staff retention and no dedicated activities coordinator hold it back."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
People were safeguarded from abuse and avoidable harm. The provider assessed risks... Staff took action to mitigate any identified risks... medicines were well managed
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
I can confidently say that I have never felt more comfortable in a working environment than I have here. The management team are always there if you need them
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
There were enough staff to meet people's needs and staff had the skills and knowledge to support people safely
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Since starting at Asher Care I have attended numerous staff training sessions... mental health training, health and safety, fire training, and safeguarding training... All staff training sessions are extremely thorough
Management
8/10
✓
The registered manager has an open door policy, actively encourages staff to report concerns and is always responsive to suggestions or ideas
Programmes
6/10
✓
A vegetable garden had been created outside, where people could work together to grow vegetables, supported by staff. One person had their own pet... enjoyed spending their time painting
Points to consider
Staffing levels are sufficient with no rushing of residents, but no details on staff retention or agency use to ensure consistently easy workloads
There seemed to be enough staff... I never see people being rushed or call bells ringing
Varied activities like gardening, pets and painting add interest to the day, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes mentioned
A vegetable garden had been created... own pet in a hutch in the garden... enjoyed spending their time painting and had displayed their works
