"Staff feel proud and enjoy their work with sufficient staffing and meaningful activities, but no registered manager and gaps in medicines records hold it back."
We reviewed medicines records for four people's prescribed topical creams and found there were still some improvements to be made with these. There were gaps in the application records for two people.
There was a positive culture at the service and staff told us they enjoyed their work. Comments from staff included, 'I am proud to work here' and 'I think [manager] has raised the morale quite a lot.'
Staffing levels had been reviewed and there were sufficient numbers of staff on duty to provide safe care. People said they do not have to wait long if they require support.
Staff received training and support to ensure they were confident and competent in their roles. The provider had added new training requirements for staff so that they had a better understanding of people's needs and how to support them. Not all staff had completed this training at the time of inspection.
The service did not have a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission.
People had access to meaningful activities including regular trips out and organised activities at home as well. A relative told us, 'They are able to do lots of things, dance clubs, cinema, shopping, [Person] just went to see a George Michael tribute act.'
No permanent manager in place yet, as the new one is still registering with the regulator.
The service did not have a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission.
Gaps in medication cream records and fluid charts not always fully filled in or added up.
There were gaps in the application records for two people, so it was not always clear whether the creams had been applied or not... fluid intake was not added up for each day making effective analysis more difficult.
Only standard training in place, and not all staff had finished the new required modules yet.
The provider had added new training requirements for staff... Not all staff had completed this training at the time of inspection, but plans were in place for when this would be done.
