Staffing Levels
4/10

Staff we spoke with told us there were times when there were not enough staff working with them to meet people's social and rehabilitation needs. We spoke with the registered manager and they agreed that there were times that people could not access the community due to low staff numbers.
Training & Dev
6/10
✓
Staff we spoke with told us they received appropriate training which gave them the skills and knowledge to carry out their roles. Training records we saw confirmed this.
Management
4/10
!
The provider had a range of audits in place to monitor the service delivery. However, whilst issues raised during our inspection had previously been identified by the registered manager, they had not been resolved and there was no date for expected completion.
Programmes
6/10

People had access to various activities although this was limited due to the staffing issues. The service had a therapy co-ordinator who was responsible for liaising with therapist and ensuring their advice was followed.
