"Staff feel supported by the manager with usually stable staffing, but a lack of activities, safety gaps and training shortfalls hold it back."
Risks to people were not always assessed and mitigated to ensure people would receive safe care. Infection prevention and control was not managed safely.
All staff told us they felt supported by the registered manager and he was accessible when they needed support.
Planned staffing levels were usually maintained. On 3 occasions over the last month, the morning shifts were short of 1 care worker, and this had impacted on people's opportunity for engagement.
Not all care staff had good knowledge of the MCA and relevant guidance. For example, 2 staff could not tell us anything about the MCA.
The provider's quality and risk monitoring systems were not always effective in identifying and action on shortfalls to ensure people received safe and high-quality care.
There was a lack of engagement and meaningful activity taking place. We did not see any people engaged in activities during our inspection.
No activities programme or creative engagement, so the job is mostly routine personal care.

Safety gaps like missing risk plans for medical issues and poor infection control make the workplace riskier.
One person was prescribed blood thinners. The registered manager was not aware of this. There was no risk assessment... Infection prevention and control was not managed in line with the provider's policy.
Training gaps mean some staff lack knowledge of key rules like mental capacity.
Not all care staff had good knowledge of the MCA and relevant guidance. For example, 2 staff could not tell us anything about the MCA.
