Points to consider
No activities coordinator or varied structured programme, limited outings due to transport issues, so shifts mostly routine personal care and kitchen help.
Staff also told us access to minibus drivers was limited which restricted some activities. Per 2018 comprehensive inspection.
Staffing levels are sufficient for safety but nothing special, no mention of stable long-serving team or minimal agency use.
We reviewed the staff rota which showed sufficient numbers of staff were deployed to support people safely. Per 2018 comprehensive inspection.
Only standard training with supervisions and monitoring, no specialist courses or funded qualifications for career growth.
