Management
5/10
!
The service was not always well-led. This meant that more time was needed for person-centred practices to be embedded and implemented throughout the service.
Programmes
5/10
!
There was an activity schedule in place to inform people of what was happening in the home each day. There was a designated activity worker for the home as well as external entertainers coming in.
Points to consider
Manager is supportive and staff like them, but some care records and practices aren't fully reliable or embedded yet.
Aspects of people's care and support was not always embedded into person centred practice. The registered manager had identified areas for improvement and was working to improve things.
Staffing levels are adequate but sometimes short at busy times of day, so extra help like laundry staff is brought in.
When staff had raised concerns with the management team that there were not enough staff at particular times of day, the registered manager had provided a member of staff to do the laundry and provide evening meals for people.
Activities include a schedule and entertainer visits but more one-to-one options are still being developed for people who don't like groups.
The registered manager was working on improving person centred activities for people. Some people told us they wanted more opportunities for engagement and more activities to get involved in.
