"Supportive management with regular supervision and a family-like culture, but basic activities like Wii games without a varied programme hold it back."
Staff received training on keeping people safe from abuse and avoidable harm and understood their responsibilities for reporting safeguarding incidents if they suspected that someone was at risk of harm or abuse.
A relative told us, 'It's like a family here; they're [staff] great.' Staff said they were listened to by the registered manager.
