Key Finding
"New management has improved organisation and staff support alongside good training, but basic activities and medicines management shortfalls hold it back."
Safety & Risk
6/10
✓
We found some shortfalls in the way medicines were managed, for example, some guidance was not clear, and some medicines had not been labelled when opened.

7/10

7/10

The service had a new management team in place and staff told us this had resulted in significant improvements to the organisation of the service and support for staff.
Programmes
4/10
!
People were able to take part in activities to help maintain independence. This included domestic activities such as cooking and cleaning. Staff also planned other activities such as ball games and musical exercise.
Points to consider
Only basic activities like cooking, cleaning, ball games and musical exercise, no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more interesting.

Some medication guidance was unclear on doses and when to give it, and opened pots missed dates though sorted straight away.
Where people needed ‘as required’ medicines, there was not always guidance available... Some medicines containers did not have dates of opening recorded on them.
