Points to consider
No permanent manager, temporary one in place and some staff unsure about future leadership.
The registered manager was no longer in post. However, the provider had ensured there was a temporary manager in post and an application for their registration was in process... some were uncertain about future leadership of the service. (Per 2020 comprehensive inspection)
Not enough staff sometimes, agency used to cover and people had to wait for help.
People, staff and relatives told us they felt there weren't always enough staff and there were occasions where people had to wait for support. Records showed that there were occasional short falls with staff and agency had been used to fill vacant staffing hours. (Per 2020 comprehensive inspection)
Activities available but people say they lack at times so the day isn't always engaging.
People enjoyed activities they took part in, but people felt this lacked at times. (Per 2020 comprehensive inspection)
