She (the registered manager) is a lovely lady. Very approachable and listens. I think she runs a good ship
Programmes
6/10
✓
People had access to social stimulation and participated in the local community
Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but ongoing recruitment for care workers and nurses means some agency staff are used
ongoing recruitment for care workers and registered nurses was underway... there was some use of agency nurses
Only standard mandatory training with no specialist courses or funded qualifications mentioned
The majority of staff had completed training in fire safety, health and safety, infection control, food hygiene, MCA and DoLS, safeguarding and chemical safety
Activities are regular with a coordinator but basic like bingo, painting and outings with no specialist programmes
I like the bingo and piano. I like to paint... There was increased access on going out to the local community
