Points to consider
No permanent manager yet, new one has applied to register.
The registered manager had transferred to another of the provider's care homes. A recently appointed home manager was in post, and had applied for registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Staffing is adequate but they sometimes get short if someone is off sick.
Feedback from staff was positive and included, "If we are short at all, if anyone goes off sick, we all just get on with it and we work really well as a team."
Only basic group activities and some one-to-one support, no specialist programmes.
The activities coordinator told us that most activities were 'group' based and one to one activities were mainly provided to people when they were in the lounge. Some people had commented they were sometimes, 'bored.'
