"Strong safety and a positive culture with regular supervision and training, but unstructured activities and stretched staffing hold it back."
Risks to people were assessed and measures were in place to mitigate risk, positive risk taking was supported. Systems and processes were in place to protect people from the risk of abuse. Staff knew how and when to raise concerns and the provider encouraged staff to speak up with any concerns.
There was a positive culture in the home that encouraged and ensured people and staff were supported to speak up with concerns and they were listened to.
There were enough staff available to meet people’s needs. However, at times staff focused on getting the task completed rather than focusing on the individual when providing care. Some staff felt that additional staff would be helpful, we saw no evidence that people were at risk of harm.
Staff received regular training and updates. A staff member told us that the supervisions process included goal setting and options for additional training available, there were options for leadership and senior carer training for staff.
Staff received regular supervision and appraisal. There were opportunities for people to share feedback and ideas with the provider and management team.
Some people told us they would like to get out of the home and into the local community more often. We saw this had been raised in relative meetings and the provider had acted by providing transport to support people to go out more.
No activities coordinator or structured programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care with basic outings added after feedback.

Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with occasional unstaffed communal areas and staff saying more hands would help.
There were enough staff to meet peoples needs. However, we observed that at times communal areas were not staffed. For example, during a 45 minute period... there was no staff presence... Some staff felt that additional staff would be helpful.
