"A positive culture and safe practices impress, although managers cover shifts for sick staff and activities lack a dedicated coordinator."
Risks to people were assessed and regularly reviewed. Staff had completed safeguarding training and understood their role in identifying and reporting any concerns. Medicines were managed safely and incidents were recorded and managed effectively.
There was a positive culture throughout the service which focused on providing care that was personalised. Comments from staff included 'It's a good team here, everyone respects each other' and 'the manager is always approachable'.
There was enough competent staff on duty. Staff told us that there were no concerns around staffing arrangements and that whenever staff called in sick or were unable to attend their shift, the managers made every effort to cover the shifts.
Staff had also completed specialist training which reflected the needs of those whom they supported. For example, they had completed training in the management of Parkinson's disease and MAPA. Staff had regular supervision with a senior member of staff.
People and staff praised the managers of the service and agreed that they were approachable, knowledgeable, fair and did their job well.

Varied everyday activities like outings, arts, crafts and shopping trips, but no dedicated coordinator or specialist programmes to enrich the role.
