Key Finding
"Robust safety measures and up-to-date training, although staffing relies on bank staff and activities lack a dedicated coordinator."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
There were robust measures in place to ensure people were safe. Risk assessments were in place specific to their individual needs and any behaviour they may present. They included detailed guidance for staff so people could be supported appropriately.
Staff Culture
6/10
✓
There was a person-centred and open culture in the home. Staff showed a commitment to provide support which achieved good outcomes for the people living in the home.
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
There were sufficient staff on duty to meet people's needs. Staff vacancies were currently filled by using the registered provider's 'bank' staff. These staff were familiar with people's support needs.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Training records we looked at showed that staff training was up to date. All staff had attended training in subjects such as first aid, fire safety, food safety, safeguarding people with autism and medication.
Management
6/10
✓
Staff were supported by the manager through regular supervisions, annual appraisal and regular training. Staff meetings were held regularly.
Programmes
6/10
✓
We saw people in the home enjoyed a range of activities, with staff support. People accessed the community to enjoy amenities such as pub lunches, walks in the countryside, swimming and gardening.
Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but vacancies are filled by bank staff.
Staff vacancies were currently filled by using the registered provider's 'bank' staff. These staff were familiar with people's support needs.
No dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes, just staff-supported community outings like swimming and gardening.
