Points to consider
Staff numbers are enough with rare agency use, but their tool for figuring out staffing needs misses things like the home layout and people's needs.
Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: The providers dependency tool was not effective... did not consider the layout of the care home, the needs of people... We recommend the provider review their dependency tool
Staff get the standard training they need like moving people and safety, but no specialist courses or funded qualifications mentioned.
Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: Staff received the training and support they required to meet people's needs. For example, moving and handling, food hygiene, health and safety and person-centred care.
There is an activities coordinator running games, dances, exercises and monthly trips, but no special programmes or innovative approaches.
Per 2020 comprehensive inspection: play skittles and knock balloons about. There are exercises and we get up and have a dance too! We go out once a month.
