Key Finding
"Strong visible leadership and good training with regular supervision, but night staffing shortages and medicines safety lapses need attention."
Safety & Risk
4/10

Medicines were mostly managed safely... Greater care needed to be taken to correctly record medicines stock amounts such as Paracetamol. The medicines trolley was left unattended and unlocked on one occasion.

A range of staff training was in place which included service specific training and regular training updates on key topics such as moving and handling... training was up to date or booked. A programme of regular supervision and annual appraisal was in place.

The registered manager was a visible presence within the home and led by example. Staff told us '[Registered manager] is extremely passionate... very approachable. Spends time on the floor and knows people.'
Programmes
6/10
✓
The service employed an activities co-ordinator... A range of activities was on offer according to people's wishes, including games, exercises, musical events and outside entertainers... quizzes, trips out, parties.
Points to consider
Night shifts do not have enough staff and use agency workers sometimes, so you might be stretched thin overnight.
some concerns were expressed by staff, people and relatives about the quantity of staff deployed at night time... used agency staff at present for some night duties but used the same agency/staff to ensure consistency wherever possible... we were concerned night-time staffing levels may not be sufficient
Medication stock counts are sometimes inaccurate and the trolley was left unlocked once, creating safety risks.
Greater care needed to be taken to correctly record medicines stock amounts such as Paracetamol... we saw two instances where people's Paracetamol supply had been incorrectly counted... The medicines trolley was left unattended and unlocked on one occasion
