Key Finding
"Approachable management and positive staff culture stand out, but ongoing recruitment and basic activities hold it back."

Management
8/10

Programmes
6/10
✓
People continued to be actively encouraged to take part in daily activities around the service such as cleaning their own room. People were in and out during the day of the inspection and were involved in a range of social activities in the local area.
Points to consider
Staff levels are sufficient but ongoing recruitment means it's not a super stable team with no turnover.
A robust recruitment process had been followed and there was ongoing recruitment to maintain sufficient staffing levels.
Activities are community outings and daily chores like cleaning rooms, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more varied.
