Key Finding
"Supportive management and strong safety practices stand out, but staffing relies on cover from other areas and activities lack a dedicated coordinator."

8/10

Programmes
6/10
✓

Points to consider
There are enough staff to meet needs, but they pull in workers from other parts of the home to cover sickness and holidays.
In the event of staff sickness or planned holidays staff from other areas of the service such as the residential side would provide 'cover'. (per 2018)
No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, just helping people with outings, hobbies, holidays and community trips.
Staff encouraged people and supported them to pursue their hobbies and interests and this was done with the staff team. (per 2018)
