Key Finding
"Stable long-serving staff and a supportive culture benefit residents, but basic activities without a dedicated coordinator are a drawback."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
People were consistently protected from abuse... Staff had received safeguarding training and knew how to escalate concerns... operated effective safeguarding processes... MCA assessments had been carried out.

Staffing Levels
8/10

Many staff had worked at the service for a long time which meant people benefitted from consistent care... There are enough staff. The ratio [to people] is really good and getting better as they are recruiting.
Training & Dev
7/10

Staff completed training relevant to their role, the registered manager sourced training in response to people’s changing needs... Staff skills and knowledge were monitored through competency checks and supervisions.
Management
7/10
✓
The registered manager had an open-door policy and was accessible to people and staff and valued the views of people and their relatives.
Programmes
6/10
✓
There was a range of planned activities for people to join if they wished... we saw people joining in a coffee morning... sing-a-long... one to one time with them.
Points to consider
No dedicated activities person or special programmes, so the job is mostly routine care with some basic group activities like sing-alongs and coffee mornings.
There was a range of planned activities for people to join if they wished... observed coffee morning... sing-a-long.
