"Supportive management, relevant training, and positive staff culture, but medicines management gaps and basic activities need improvement."
Medicines management was not fully effective. We saw a hand-written medication administration record (MAR) had not been signed by two staff... there was no clear audit trail, regarding who had made changes to a person's medicines.
Staff were confident to share their opinions, ideas and felt listened to. For example, one staff member told us they had made suggestions about a 'Jamaican' food party, which was arranged and enjoyed by the people at the service.
People and staff told us there were sufficient staff available. One person said, 'There are enough staff.'
Staff confirmed they had been provided with training which was relevant to their roles and had completed an induction programme. Staff were provided with regular supervision and told us they felt supported by this.
Relatives and staff felt they could approach the registered manager if they had any concerns. Staff were kept up to date with any changes, through meetings and supervisions.
People were supported to take part in activities and were supported to access local community facilities to enhance their well-being. People went out into the local community, which included shopping and going out for birthday celebrations.
Medication records had gaps like missing signatures and no clear track of doctor changes, so one person missed a dose and felt unwell.
One person told us they had not received a medication which made them feel unwell. We looked at this person's MAR's and found clear records were not always in place to show when medicine changes had been made by the doctor.
Staff numbers are just adequate with no details on stable teams or using few agency workers.
The provider monitored staffing levels to ensure people received safe support. People and staff told us there were sufficient staff available. One person said, 'There are enough staff.'
Only basic outings, shopping trips, and community visits with no activities coordinator or special programmes.
People told us they were able to follow their own interests. People went out into the local community, which included shopping and going out for birthday celebrations. One person carried out voluntary work.
