The service was in breach of legal regulation in relation to the ways people’s medicines were managed safely...

This included critical medicines such as those to treat seizures, Parkinson’s disease and antipsychotics.

'[Beaumont Manor] has got a great activity coordinator, we receive a plan of what’s on a week ahead, exercises, games, lots of entertainers in. We go to some events; they go down great. [Person] likes it when the animals come in.'
Points to consider
No permanent manager for a while and new team just starting, so leadership is unstable and changes not fully in place.

Not enough staff at times, especially evenings and nights, leading to delays answering call bells and feeling chaotic.
