Key Finding
"Staff praised good training and the positive, homely culture with varied activities, but no permanent manager and staffing shortages are concerns."
Safety & Risk
7/10
✓
Risks to people were minimised because staff knew how to recognise and report suspicions of abuse. Medicine errors were reviewed, and action taken to prevent recurrence.
Staff Culture
6/10
✓
Staff were positive; there was a happy, homely atmosphere. One staff member said, 'It's a much more upbeat, positive vibe now... nice place to work'.
Staffing Levels
4/10

Suitable staffing numbers to meet people's changing needs were a concern for relatives and staff. This issue was being acted upon by the manager.
Training & Dev
7/10

Staff were trained in health and safety and in people's specific needs, such as supporting people who have autism or epilepsy. Staff said training was good and included refresher training.
Management
2/10

The last registered manager had left after managing the home for 12 years. The deputy manager had now become the manager and had applied to register with us.
Programmes
6/10
