Key Finding
"A positive family-oriented culture and stable long-term staff, but informal supervision and medicines labelling issues need attention."

Points to consider
Staff only get informal chats instead of regular planned one-on-one supervision meetings
Staff did not receive formal supervision regularly, however had participated in appraisals. The co-owner held informal supervision meetings with staff and has agreed to formalise this process
Some liquid medicines missed opening and disposal date labels, and PRN protocols were added after the inspection
These had not been labelled with date of opening and date for disposal... We asked the registered manager to add PRN protocols to the medicines records
No dedicated activities coordinator or named specialist programmes, so the role relies on basic sensory activities and outings
The premises had been adapted and upgraded and a sensory area installed. Staff took the person out most days and supported them with sensory activities
