"Effective hands-on leadership and strong supportive culture, but lack of structured activities programme and past staffing shortages need improvement."

Programmes
4/10
!
People were supported to be busy and to have fulfilling lives that included life activities and social events. Two people had been supported to take their first holiday abroad.
Points to consider
No activities coordinator or regular structured programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care with basic outings and events.

Staffing is adequate now but was stretched in the past due to one person's needs, and they are still planning a tool to check levels properly.
staff and relatives told us staffing arrangements in the past had not ensured people had all their support needs attended to. This person has since moved to another service relieving staffing pressures. A dependency tool was to be used to assess and review the staffing levels.
Only standard training like safeguarding and medicines, no specialist courses or funded qualifications.
Staff received regular training on safeguarding... Only staff who had received medicine training and had been assessed as competent gave medicines.
