Working at Sandylee House

Not all staff were aware they could report concerns directly to the Local Authority safeguarding team. Where people's needs had changed, this had not always been reflected in their risk assessments.

Staff received a mixture of online and in-house training which they described as 'good'. One staff member told us, 'I spent time shadowing the staff and I found that useful'.

At the time of our inspection there was not a registered manager in post. However, the previous registered manager was overseeing the service whilst a manager was in the process of registering with us.

People had access to a range of activities both inside and outside of the home. For example, people enjoyed puzzles, games and activities at a local hub which provided a variety of activities. People enjoyed planned trips outside of the home to Blackpool, the railway and Alton towers.
