Points to consider
No permanent manager registered yet, even though one has been appointed and process started, so leadership feels not fully settled.
The service did not have a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission. However, a manager had been appointed and was going through our registration process.
Staffing covers needs fine but no details on stable team or avoiding agency staff to keep workloads easy.
Staffing arrangements matched the level of assessed needs within the service
Varied outings and games like bingo and theme parks but no activities coordinator or special creative programmes to enrich shifts.
