Key Finding
"Strong leadership, stable staffing, and a warm culture, but activities lack a dedicated coordinator for more specialist programmes."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Medicines were managed, stored and disposed of safely... Risks continued to be assessed, identified and managed without restricting people... Accidents and incidents continued to be reported and reviewed to identify any patterns.
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
Beach House had a positive and warm environment, people laughed and smiled and told us that Beach House was 'home.' Staff were considered friends and they mutually supported and respected one another.
Staffing Levels
8/10
✓
Staffing levels remained consistent and people told us that there is always 'plenty of staff.' There was a well-established, long standing staff team who worked flexibly to cover any emergency shortfalls.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff continued to be up to date with training which included topics such as mental health, autistic spectrum and person-centred planning to ensure the latest best practice was followed. Staff told us they felt supported by the management team and that they had regular one to one supervision meetings.
Management
8/10
✓
The registered manager led the service by example and continued to build upon an ethos of kindness and mutual respect which was embraced by staff and people alike.
Programmes
6/10
✓
A log cabin for arts and crafts had been set up... People enjoyed regular yoga and well-being classes... went out to 'Walk and Talk'... outings to local events... regular house barbecue's.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes like pet therapy, so the role mixes routine care with basic arts, yoga, walks, and outings.
