"A happy family-like culture and strong management support, although staffing gets by without stable retention and training remains basic."
Safeguarding processes were followed, and staff were aware of reporting systems. Risks were managed effectively, and staff had clear guidance to follow which was contained within detailed care plans.
A relative said, ‘I couldn’t be happier [loved one] is here. Staff are happy and they work together well.’ People told us, ‘They are very good, a bit like a family in a way.’
There were enough staff on duty to meet people’s needs. We observed staffing to be sufficient during our inspection. Staff appeared busy, but not rushed
Staff were supported to do their job and had regular supervisions. Staff received training appropriate and relevant to their role.
‘I am absolutely supported, the registered manager is always there or the deputies if we need them. They always help. We have the nurses too, there are enough staff here.’
A relative told us, ‘They have 2 activities here every single day.’ Comments included, ‘I went to church,’ ‘I’ve been out. I like shopping, we’ve been to the shops, the park and Poole Quay,’ and ‘I had a go at making sushi.’
Staffing levels are enough to get by without rushing but no word on low staff turnover or using few agency workers.
