Key Finding
"Staff feel supported by an approachable manager in a relaxed atmosphere, but safety risks and group-led activities hold it back."
Safety & Risk
4/10
!
We found environmental risks were not managed consistently... pest control traps, the risk assessment for this was limited... An outdoor shed was unlocked, this stored cleaning products.

Programmes
4/10
!
Per 2017 comprehensive inspection: The home employed a part-time activities co-ordinator but... Activities provided were not always person-centred and tended to be group led.
Points to consider
Some health and safety risks like pest traps in corridors and an unlocked shed with cleaning products needed fixing straight away during the inspection.
On the corridors, we identified pest control traps, the risk assessment for this was limited... An outdoor shed was unlocked, this stored cleaning products. The registered manager resolved these potential hazards immediately.
Regular agency staff are used even though there are enough people on shift.
The provider used regular agency workers who were familiar with people's needs.
No proper activities programme or coordinator fully in place, so the job is mostly routine personal care.
Per 2017 comprehensive inspection: part-time activities co-ordinator but... role was not fully embedded... Activities provided were not always person-centred and tended to be group led.
