Working at Highbury Gardens

Days include supporting outings like swimming and horse riding, but no dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more varied and creative.

Activities that people enjoyed included going to the gym, walking in the park, swimming, visiting farm animals, using the trampoline, cinema trips, cycling in the forest and horse riding.

Medication risk assessments had blank sections on side effects for some people, so guidance for staff was not fully detailed.

The section was left blank on two people's records. This meant staff may not be given sufficient information about the risk.

Staffing levels meet needs with good rotas and no shortages, but no info on staff staying long-term or agency use to ensure consistently low workloads.

Staff told us there were enough staff working in the home and that they had enough time to carry out their duties. One staff member said, 'We are never short of staff.'
