Points to consider
No permanent manager in place yet, though deputy is handling things well with no disruptions.
A registered manager was not in post. The deputy manager was currently acting up as general manager. The previous registered manager had recently left... a new manager had been appointed. Plans were in place to register them.
Staffing is good enough with right skills, but no info on low staff turnover or hardly any agency use.
There continued to be enough staff with the right skills and experience to meet the individual needs of the people who lived in the home.
