Points to consider
Staff made mistakes signing medication sheets and one person missed a prescribed dose of medicine.
one person's MAR had been signed by staff to confirm they had administered a newly prescribed medicine to them over the previous eight days, but the remaining medicines stock showed only seven doses had been administered in that time. This meant the person had not received their medicines as prescribed on one occasion.
Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no details on low staff turnover or agency use.
There were sufficient staff deployed at the service to safely meet people's needs.
Activities are varied like swimming and outings but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes.
