Key Finding
"Effective management and a positive team culture where staff feel involved, but busy staffing and a medicines error need improvement."
Safety & Risk
5/10
!
We found one person had been prescribed and been given more than the recommended dose of a medicine, although this had not adversely impacted on their health.
Staff Culture
7/10
✓
Staff told us they felt involved and engaged in how the service was run and that 'The team work well together.'
Staffing Levels
5/10
!
Staff were busy at all times, but the service used a dependency tool to review staffing levels, and staff confirmed there were enough staff. We have made a recommendation in relation to staffing levels.
Training & Dev
6/10
✓
Staff received a comprehensive induction which included training courses and support in their role. Some care staff had completed the Care Certificate.
Management
7/10
✓
Since the last inspection there had been a change in the management of the service. However, by the time of this inspection the management team had established itself as effective and well organised.
Programmes
6/10
✓
The service had a range of activities taking place from music, art and involvement with local community organisations. On the day of the inspection a nursery had brought in the young children who played in the gardens.
Points to consider
Staffing levels are adequate but staff are busy and sometimes people wait for help, and inspectors recommended reviewing them.
