"Great training and a happy, supportive culture for staff, but safety risks around infections and medicines hold it back."
Missing risk assessment for person whose distress impacts others... infection concerns with sealant and spillages... medicines not always given with correct time between doses.
Staff felt managers listened... learning culture without blame... first place where I wake up looking forward to going to work... staff appeared relaxed and happy.
We observed safe levels of staffing... no longer the use of agency staff... permanent staff... staff happy with level of support.
Staff provided with numerous training courses and coaching... NVQ level 3 funded... dementia bus, virtual dementia tour, Studio 3 training... regular supervision.
Staff told us they were now well supported by management... the registered manager promoted transparency and learning... open door policy and approachable.
Chair exercises, singers, cake day, animal day (chicken, lizard, rabbit), art, garden, musical things, shopping outings mentioned by relatives.
Some risks like a person's distress affecting others lack full assessments, plus spots with infection risks from poor seals and spills.
a risk assessment had not been completed for a person whose distress regularly impacted on other people... a number of areas where the sealant on the edge of flooring needed to be repaired... spillages had not been cleaned up
Medicines had timing gaps between doses and record inconsistencies, even if fixed quickly.
ensuring medicines were being given with the correct length of time between administration... consistency of records
Activities are basic like animal visits, exercises and music, so days feel routine without special creative programmes.
[My family member] likes the chair exercises and the singers... animal day for people, they brought in a chicken, a lizard and a rabbit... art and being outside... musical things
