Key Finding
"Strong leadership from the registered manager and supportive culture for staff, but no activities programme and gaps in specialist training hold it back."
Safety & Risk
4/10
!
While risks were generally well managed, some assessments lacked detail. Staff generally handled medicines well, though there were some recording issues.

6/10
✓
Staff told us they felt well supported by the registered manager. One staff member said “[Registered manager] is absolutely fantastic, he always helps when needed.”
Staffing Levels
5/10
!
Staffing levels were appropriate, but some agency staff would not have enough information to support this person.
Training & Dev
4/10
!
some care workers did not have a higher level of training with regards to specific conditions to ensure they could support people effectively. One staff member told us “I think some of the training could be more in depth, in can be hard here at times.”

Only basic training with gaps in specialist skills for complex needs, making some shifts harder.
some care workers did not have a higher level of training with regards to specific conditions to ensure they could support people effectively.
Gaps in risk assessments like choking details and medication records like missing open dates.
