"Staff feel valued in a friendly team with responsive management and sufficient staffing, but medication record errors and limited one-on-one activities need attention."
Improvements made to risks and medicines management, no longer in breach; safeguarding procedures effective but minor allergy record errors found and fixed.
Staff felt valued and supported; 'It’s a very friendly team and we work well together'; new initiatives like board of excellence.
Staff told us there were sufficient numbers on duty; rotas showed more staff than minimum in dependency tool, safe recruitment followed.
Staff received relevant training including safeguarding, medicines and additional for eating/drinking guidelines; regular supervision provided.
Staff gave positive feedback about the registered manager being responsive, listening to concerns and taking action; open-door policy in place.
Good selection of activities and outings including crafts, quizzes, community school visits; dedicated wellbeing coordinators per previous inspection.
Some medication records had wrong allergy details that audits missed, so safety checks are not fully reliable yet.
information about allergies was incorrect on some people’s records. There were regular audits of the MARS but these had not identified the incorrect information.
Activities are varied but not enough one-on-one time or specialist options for less mobile residents or those with dementia, so the role sticks to routine care more.
some people felt not enough was on offer for people who were unable to participate in these communal activities... No staff goes to sit with them or talk to them unless giving food or care.
Staffing meets needs now but no details on low staff turnover or avoiding agency use, so workloads might still vary.
If someone calls sick our managers will take effort to make sure enough staff are on duty... observed staffing seemed sufficient but from follow-up to previous understaffing concerns.
