"Consistent staffing, effective training and a dedicated activities coordinator stand out, but staff-management divisions, feeling undervalued and safety lapses need attention."
On our arrival staff did not follow the procedure for admitting visitors, therefore we were not fully assured that the provider was preventing visitors from catching and spreading infections.
There are issues the provider needs to address in order to support the registered manager in working to create a more positive culture and atmosphere within the service.
The rota showed the service maintained sufficient cover, including at times of staff sickness. The registered manager had worked shifts including sleep-in duty and weekends when needed.
Staff were recruited safely, received a range of training and had access to supervision.
Feedback from staff and the leadership team showed a sharp division of views. Some staff did not feel valued or listened to by the management.
We have a dedicated Activities Coordinator. It was difficult for support workers to support in meaningful activities when supporting in a house; the activity coordinator can ensure that individuals are offered activities that meet their individual needs and preferences.
Some staff feel unsupported in managing risks and unclear on what happens after raising concerns.
Feedback from some staff indicated that they were not always clear on what happened with concerns that they had raised. Some staff did not feel well supported to manage risk and did not feel that management were communicating clearly what they were doing.
Team morale is mixed with divisions between staff and managers, and some don't feel valued.
Feedback from staff and the leadership team showed a sharp division of views. Some staff did not feel valued or listened to by the management.
Safety lapses like not screening visitors for infection control and a nut allergy reaction from missed care plan details.
At the start of the inspection when we entered the building staff did not ask to take our temperature or complete a health questionnaire... One person's records were not all clear about a nut allergy and there had been an incident resulting in them having a mild reaction to food.
