Key Finding
"A family-like culture and strong staff retention with good training, but the manager leaving and basic activities hold it back."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
People were protected from the risk of harm, abuse and discrimination. The registered manager ensured staff were well-trained and knowledgeable. Medicines continued to be managed safely.
Staff Culture
9/10
✓
People and staff knew each other very well and told us Seaview House was 'just like a family home.' 'We are like one big family, including people's relatives.'
Staffing Levels
8/10
✓
Staff said that staffing levels were maintained at a good level and they had time to meet people's needs. Additional staff could be brought in if someone was unwell or needed to go to an appointment. Many staff being employed in the home for twenty years.
Training & Dev
8/10
✓
Staff received a comprehensive training programme to equip them for the specific needs of people they were supporting. The registered manager had arranged additional training... linking for example with the specialist learning disability team.
Management
6/10
✓
The registered manager was leaving and the provider was recruiting for a replacement. In the meantime the provider ensured continued oversight and support to ensure the home was effectively managed.
Programmes
6/10
✓
People were supported to engage in activities and hobbies of their choice both within the community and in the home... go shopping, visit local attractions and go out to cafes for meals. Some people liked to go to concerts and others went on holidays with staff support.
Points to consider
The manager is leaving and there's no replacement yet, so leadership support during the changeover was a concern.
The registered manager was leaving and the provider was recruiting for a replacement... We had some concerns about staff support during a period of restructuring, the phasing out of the senior role, and not yet having a replacement manager.
Varied outings and hobbies but no dedicated activities coordinator or specialist programmes to make the role more creative.
People were supported to engage in activities and hobbies of their choice both within the community and in the home... shopping, visit local attractions... concerts... holidays.
