Points to consider
Staffing levels are enough to meet needs, but nothing said about stable long-term team or low use of agency staff.
People told us that there were enough staff to meet people's needs and keep people safe.
Some regular activities like music therapy and cookery are offered, but no dedicated coordinator or special innovative programmes to vary the workday.
There were scheduled activities organised, such as music therapy, cookery, playing board games and meals out.
Some safety risks like ligature points over beds and in bathrooms needed immediate fixing.
We found a number of ligature points around the home particularly on the nurse call system... The registered manager told us they would remove these immediately.
