Key Finding
"Staff feel involved, respected and listened to with strong safety measures, but activities lack a full programme and there's no long-serving team."

Programmes
5/10
!
The 'Butterfly Initiative' had been introduced across the home to combat social isolation and reduce loneliness. People engaged in activities which were tailored to the individuals taking part.
Points to consider
Staffing is sufficient with fewer agency workers, but no long-serving team or proof of easy workloads for care workers.
The number of agency staff had reduced, and staff told us teamwork had significantly improved and they worked well together.
Training is up to date with champion roles, but no specialist courses or funded qualifications to help staff grow.
Staff received up-to-date training and were empowered to become champions of care, focusing on specific areas of interest.
Some chat schemes and tailored activities, but no full programme or coordinator so shifts are mostly routine care.
