"Enough skilled staff and strong teamwork, but no registered manager and poor risk management create leadership and safety gaps."
Risks to people’s health, safety and welfare were not always managed safely which meant people were exposed to the risk of harm and poor care. Some risk assessments were in place but they were not always accurate or up to date.
Staff described a strong sense of teamwork and a shared vision. The manager and staff described a shared direction and culture and working together to improve quality and safety.
People and relatives told us there were enough skilled staff on duty to support them safely. Most staff said there were enough staff on duty to provide safe care and support.
Staff received training in safeguarding. They understood how to recognise abuse and poor care and report this to their manager and other relevant professionals. Staff had received up to date training in infection, prevention and control practises.
There was no registered manager in place. The manager had been in post since February 2024 and was undertaking a leadership course to support their development.
People told us they enjoyed the activities offered. One person said, “There are plenty of things happening and we can join in. It’s good to do things together.”
