"Staff are well supported with strong training and a positive family culture, but medicines management gaps and lack of staff retention details hold it back."
Medicines were generally managed safely. However, some staff were not yet fully comfortable with a recently introduced digital recording system. We did not identify anyone had come to harm as a result of this. The registered manager had not always promptly completed necessary assessments of people’s capacity... Following feedback prompt action was taken.
Staff were well motivated, enjoyed their roles and provided support with kindness and compassion. They told us, “It’s a nice environment as the families are involved all the time. I cannot say enough positive about this place, we are literally a big family” and “It’s amazing here. I have worked in many care homes and this is the best”.
The service was fully staffed and rotas showed planned staffing levels were normally achieved. Staff told us they had enough time to care for people and their comments included, “I think there is enough staff”.
Staff training was regularly updated and the provider ensured all staff had the skills necessary to meet people’s needs. Staff comments included, “Me and another girl are in college at the moment, doing a 12 week clinical skills course at Truro. We are learning new skills” and “I have done a lot more training here than ever before... specialist training in dementia and end of life care”.
Staff were well supported by the registered manager who listened to them and acted upon suggestions they made. Governance systems were effective and a deputy manager had been recently recruited to support the registered manager.
People were regularly supported to access the community and participate in a range of activities both within the service and in the local community. People were encouraged to participate in a variety of activities each week, including visiting a local café and participating in local community events.
Staffing levels meet needs with staff saying they have enough time, but no details on low turnover or long serving teams making workloads always manageable.

Some gaps in medication records because staff are still learning the new digital system, and no clear guidance for as required medicines.
we identified some gaps in these records on the day of the inspection which meant it was not possible to establish people had received their medicines as prescribed. The service’s system did not include clear protocols documenting how and when these medicines should be used.
Activities are regular community outings and events but no mention of a dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more varied.
