"Staff feel valued in a positive culture with enough staffing for consistent care, but poor resident engagement and distant management hold it back."
The service did not always promptly control potential risks in the care environment when they were detected. During our first on-site inspection visit, we observed a fire door was being wedged open.
Staff members we spoke with told us the home was a good place to work, and they felt able to make suggestions or raise issues.
Staff told us, there were enough staff to allow them to provide consistent care and they felt the training programme equipped them with the skills and knowledge they needed to support people safely.
We reviewed supervision records for staff and found these were not held as frequently as the provider’s policy stated. They also did not contain discussions around objective setting or personal development as per the provider’s policy.
All staff spoken to, told us the manager was not visible on a daily basis. They did tell us they could contact the manager via the telephone when needed.
We observed several occasions where staff missed opportunities to interact with the person, even though they were vocalising for the majority of the time, and on occasions sounded frustrated and appearing to want a need met.
The manager is not in the home every day, so leadership and oversight feel distant.

Supervisions for staff happen too rarely and skip talks on your growth or goals.

No activities or engagement setup, so shifts stick to basic care with little variety.
