Working at Ashworth Care Management Company LTD

No permanent manager in place, only an acting one supported from another home.

At the time of our inspection the service did not have a manager registered with us. There was an acting manager in post who had been responsible for the day to day running of the service.

Just basic activities like outings, cooking and games, no coordinator or specialist programmes.

Staff supported people to pursue interests in the community, such as shopping, trips to the seafront and movies. In the home, there were "girls' nights in", film nights and board games.

Only standard training on key topics with supervisions, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.

Training included modules on learning disabilities and specific conditions such as epilepsy. The manager followed up training with regular supervisions and annual appraisals.
