A relative told us, 'They encourage [my relative] get up and get involved. The activity person is great, she really motivates her to join in.'
Staffing is adequate but nothing special, just enough staff with no details on low agency use or good retention.
A member of staff told us, 'There is enough staff and there is enough time to spend with people.'
Governance systems still need embedding, so day-to-day oversight and learning from issues isn't fully reliable yet.
A quality assurance process was in place... However, these systems of governance needed to be embedded further to ensure any learning could be implemented.
