"Strong safety, good staff training and varied activities in a positive culture, but inconsistent management oversight and recruitment record gaps need work."
People had their risks assessed and staff had support and training to manage risks safely. People's medicines were managed and stored safely.
People spoke fondly of the staff. One person said, 'I love it here, the staff are lovely.'
There were enough staff present to meet people's individual care needs and no agency staff were used.
Following their induction staff followed a rolling programme of training... Specific training such as learning disabilities and dealing with challenging behaviours was provided.
The quality of the service offered to people was monitored by the management although not always consistently.
People had daily activity plans reflecting a wide range of choices and interests including knitting, flower arranging, cooking, dancing, listening to music and educational goals.
Managers are approachable but their oversight and policy updates are not always consistent, so some issues like outdated guidance get missed.
The provider did not have systems in place to keep up to date with new guidance. Governance systems had not identified that some aspects... needed further work.
Staffing is adequate with no agency use, but recruitment records have gaps like missing full job histories or unclear references.
More robust practices around gaining employment histories and seeking and recording appropriate references was needed. We found some inconsistencies in recruitment records.
