"Staff feel supported with good teamwork, enough staff and solid training, but managers' quality checks miss safety risks so hazards linger."
We found risks to people from tripping hazards, rusting garden furniture and uncovered radiators which the provider's safety audits did not identify.
Staff told us they felt supported by the registered manager and locality manager. One member of staff said, 'The managers are good. They are supportive.' Another member of staff told us, 'There is good team working here.'
The registered manager ensured there were enough staff available to provide care and support to people throughout the day and overnight.
Staff received training in a range of areas. These included mental health, health and safety and safeguarding. The new locality manager reviewed the training undertaken by staff and arranged refresher training when required.
The provider's quality assurance processes did not always lead to shortfalls being identified and addressed. This meant risks to people's safety were not always resolved in a timely manner.
People were supported to engage in a range of activities. One person told us, 'I like doing arts and crafts, like knitting and painting.' Another person said, 'I play the Piano at home and I like to go shopping and to the café. I go with staff... I play games like snakes and ladders with the staff too'

Only basic activities like arts, crafts, games and outings, nothing structured or specialist to make the job more varied.
