"Approachable manager and loyal staff who feel valued, but basic activities without a coordinator and lack of stable teams hold it back."
People felt they were safe... Staff knew how to escalate issues and concerns and were aware of potential risks... People received their medicines appropriately... Accidents and incidents were managed appropriately.
A staff member told us, 'I have been working here many years and could never see myself working anywhere else now. I always give it 110% and feel valued for the job I do.'
All of the staff we spoke with felt that there were enough staff to keep people safe and they had time to spend with people. We saw staff being available to meet people's needs.
Training has really been improved. We have online training and face to face. I have recently done training on oral awareness and mouth care and training on giving thickeners in food.
People knew the registered manager and felt they were approachable. A staff member told us, '[registered manager's name] is the heart of this place. They are here all day until late, we can go to them about anything and they help.'
People told us they enjoyed the activities within the home... I like the singing we do... musical instrument sessions... one to one activities, such as styling people's hair and reading newspapers with them.
Only basic group activities like singing and one-to-one chats, no coordinator or special programmes to make the job more interesting.

Staffing levels are enough for safety and time with people, but no word on stable teams or easy workloads.
