Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: dedicated activities coordinator who won regional award, men's wellbeing club with positive impact, minibus for community outings including pub visits, dance/exercise classes, links to local schools.
Points to consider
Enough staff to respond on time and good recruitment, but no word on stable teams, low agency use, or workloads that allow unhurried care.
People were supported by sufficient numbers of staff who were able to respond to people in a timely way.
Standard training with induction, supervisions, and staff saying it's good, but no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Staff told us the training was good and relevant to their role; they felt well supported to deliver good standards of care.
