Working at River View

Days include community outings, college and gardening support, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to enrich the role beyond basics.

Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: people had gone to college, the cinema and to their gardening project. We saw people also attended fitness classes, work placements and social activities.

Staff numbers are sufficient for safe care and community access after recent changes, but no details on great retention or light workloads.

Minor gaps in medicine records and accident logs were spotted and fixed right away, so safety processes are not yet fully tight.

Audits of medicines were in place. However, they did not highlight discrepancies found during the inspection process. This included a homely medicine that was not labelled with a date of opening and 1 gap found in recording administration.
