3/10
✕
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: People described arts and crafts, outings and TV, but staff missed opportunities to spend time with people who spent long periods alone with little to do.
Points to consider
No proper activities programme or coordinator, so the job is mostly routine care with people left alone for long stretches.
staff missed opportunities to spend time with people and they spend long periods alone with little to do. We also found this at our last inspection in March 2017. Per 2019 comprehensive inspection
Manager is there and approachable but missed big oversight issues like not completing mental capacity paperwork.
DoLS applications had not been completed. This meant that the registered manager and staff were not working within the principles of the MCA. Per 2019 comprehensive inspection
Staffing is enough but staff often bunch up writing notes or on breaks, so people get left waiting too much.
staff were often together, writing care notes or taking breaks. This meant that people were frequently left alone for long periods of time. Per 2019 comprehensive inspection
