Points to consider
Staffing is good with enough people on shifts and extra roles like cleaners to help focus on care, but no info on long-serving staff or avoiding agency workers.
Staff told us they felt there were enough staff on each shift to meet people's needs safely. One staff member stated, 'Yes there are enough staff on duty.'
