Working at Hillside Care Home

Medicines were managed and administered safely. Records of medicines were accurate. Staff clearly recorded when they had administered medicines and records contained no gaps or discrepancies.

The person was supported by staff that knew them well and there was a positive working relationship, with a consistent staff team supporting them.

There were sufficient numbers of staff at the service. As there was only one person there. The staff team was small and consisted of staff who knew and worked well with the person.

Records also showed staff had attended training that was specific to the needs of the people they supported, such as training in learning disabilities and autism.

There was a new registered manager in post and they had introduced improvements to the governance at the service.

There was a varied programme of activities in place. Since our last inspection, the person's activity timetable had been made clearer and record keeping around activities attended had improved.
