Points to consider
They use agency staff to cover when short staffed, so not the most stable team.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: The provider used agency staff as an interim measure while they recruited to vacancies. One staff member said 'We have agency staff to cover shifts when we are short.'
Activities are basic like quizzes and crafts with some community links, no coordinator to make the job more interesting.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Various activities were displayed for people to get involved. One person said 'I like the quizzes and I do some of the crafts.' People were involved in the local community and were engaged with the local school and college.
Recent infection control check found some issues with protective gear use and COVID risk plans not fully person-centred.
2020 IPC inspection: We were somewhat assured that the provider was using PPE effectively and safely. Recommended... review their risk assessments for staff and people to ensure they were person centred... additional checks to ensure PPE was available, stored appropriately and worn correctly.
