Management
4/10
!
Although there continued to be no registered manager in post, the regional director has based at the home full time and had applied to become registered
Programmes
5/10
!
People were engaged in a variety of activities to enhance their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical wellbeing. For example, 7 people engaged in an activity in the lounge to aid their cognition
Points to consider
No permanent manager in place, so leadership feels temporary and might not last
Although there continued to be no registered manager in post, the regional director has based at the home full time
Only basic activities and engagement, no dedicated coordinator or special programmes to make the job more varied
There have been lots of improvements with everything. The main thing being the offer of activities. We really encourage people to take part
Some agency staff still used occasionally, even though levels are now adequate
One staff member told us the use of temporary staff supplied through an agency staff had recently reduced but when they were needed
