"Mixed staff morale and inconsistent staffing, but no registered manager and training gaps for specific needs like diabetes hold it back."
Risks associated with people's care had not always been managed effectively... This was a continued breach of regulation 12(1).
Staff did not always feel listened to or supported and there were mixed messages from staff about morale. Some staff told us, 'Morale is low and they [staff] are all pushed to the limits,' other staff told us, 'Moral is much better than it was a year ago.'
Staff told us, 'We do not get time to spend with people' and 'Some days we have enough and some days we are really short.'
Staff had not received the appropriate training to support the needs of people living at the home. For example, no training was provided to support people who had diabetes or required catheter care.
The service had been without a registered manager since October 2021. At the time of our inspection a manager had been recruited and had started working for the service, however, they had not applied to the CQC to register.
No permanent manager in post, even though one has started they are not registered yet.

Staff often stretched and short staffed on some days, rushing around without time for person-centred care.
People told us they did not think there was enough staff... 'They [staff] are rushing around and don't have time for us'... Staff told us, 'We do not get time to spend with people' and 'Some days we have enough and some days we are really short.'
