Points to consider
Only standard training on basics like safeguarding and moving people, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.
We looked at the training records and saw staff had completed training in areas, such as safeguarding adults, medicine management, infection control, moving and handling and health and safety.
Some medication mistakes like missing check signatures and out of date stock found, even though they fixed it right away.
we found one missing signature where a member of staff did not sign as a witness... four items of medicines were expired and two items of medicines without any labels on them. However, the medicines were not in use and they were disposed of on the day of our visit.
Activities are regular with games, crafts and some community visits, but nothing specialist to make the job more varied and fun.
we saw there was a wide range of activities in the service. We observed activities taking place including arts and crafts and games... They had arranged a playgroup... called 'Heart beeps'.
