Management
3/10
✕
There was no registered manager at the time of our visit but the senior management team remained consistent and they supported temporary managers at the home. A new manager was being appointed and would make an application to be registered with us.
Programmes
3/10
✕
Per 2022 comprehensive inspection: 'There are no activities at all; I just read my paper and do my word search.' Another person commented, 'There aren't any activities at all now, so I stay in my room a lot and come out at mealtimes.'
Points to consider
No permanent manager in post, and high turnover of managers left some relatives disappointed.
Most relatives told us they were disappointed with the high turnover of home managers at the home, however senior managers within the group remained consistent.
Relies on agency staff to keep numbers up due to hiring and keeping permanent staff problems.
Per 2022 comprehensive inspection: the provider had experienced difficulties recruiting and retaining staff and as a result, staffing numbers were maintained by using temporary staff supplied through an agency.
No activities programme or coordinator, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
