Key Finding
"Staff receive good training in a supportive culture with strong safety, but no permanent manager and lack of activities hold it back."
Safety & Risk
7/10
✓
The provider had a system in place to protect people from the risk of abuse. Staff knew how to recognise and report abuse and were confident appropriate action was taken to keep people safe. Risks associated with people's care had been identified and managed safely.
Staff Culture
6/10

Staff confirmed they had been involved in meetings and felt able to discuss issues freely. Staff told us the deputy manager was approachable and supportive.
Staffing Levels
5/10

6/10
✓
Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: Staff were well trained and supported for their role so that they could meet people's assessed needs.
Management
2/10
✕

Programmes
2/10
✕
There was a lack of social activities for people to engage in. The provider was in the process of recruiting to the post of well-being lead, whose role will be to ensure people have access to social stimulation.
Points to consider
No permanent manager in post, so leadership feels unstable and oversight is inconsistent.
At the time of our inspection there was no registered manager in post. The deputy manager was covering the role of the manager but needed support to ensure the smooth running of the home.
No activities programme or coordinator, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
There was a lack of social activities for people to engage in.
Staffing is adequate but nothing special, staff sometimes not deployed effectively.
