"Staff feel well supported with good activities and programmes, but unreliable risk management and high staff turnover are concerns."
The management of risk when people were expressing distress or agitation was unreliable... Staff were inconsistent in how they recorded events. Managers investigated incidents... but this was not always done quickly enough.
Staff felt well supported in their role and had opportunities to share their views.
The service had enough competent staff to meet people's needs... Feedback about staff was generally positive although some concerns were raised about the high turnover. A relative said, 'There are a lot of new staff in post.'
Training records showed some refresher training such as positive behaviour support was overdue.
Governance systems were not always reliable. The service provided care to people with complex needs but the systems to capture, monitor and manage risks... were not effective. These shortfalls were not always identified and addressed through the provider's governance arrangements.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: We saw a range of activities both within and away from the home took place. People's care plans recorded their interests and showed they attended regular clubs... Staff went with people for walks on a daily basis and to attend swimming sessions.
Staff do not always record incidents or risks properly, and managers do not always check them quickly enough, so problems might not get fixed fast.
Staff were inconsistent in how they recorded events. Managers investigated incidents which were recorded on incident report forms, but this was not always done quickly enough.
Some refresher training like positive behaviour support is overdue, so staff might not be fully up to date on key skills.
