Key Finding
"Strong leadership, caring culture and thorough training, but routine activities lack variety and no clear staff retention."

Staff Culture
8/10

Staffing Levels
7/10

The provider deployed suitable numbers of staff to meet people's needs, keep them safe and support them to engage in activities. Rotas showed safe staffing levels were maintained, confirmed by a professional: 'They've got the time, the right staffing levels.'
Training & Dev
8/10

Management
8/10
✓
The registered manager maintained a supportive culture and displayed strong leadership. Staff told us that the registered manager provided strong leadership and support. One staff member said, '[They're] the best boss I've ever had.'
Programmes
6/10
✓
People enabled to participate in activities like trampolining, park visits, bread making, meal preparation, bowling trips, shopping and cafes.
Points to consider
Role mostly routine care plus basic outings like park trips and bowling, no activities coordinator or special programmes to add variety.
Activities people enjoyed were identified in their care plans. People were enabled to participate in activities... trampolining... park... cleaning tasks, bread making, meal preparation and bowling trips.
Staffing is safe and right for needs but no info on low turnover or long-serving team to show real stability.
Rotas we reviewed from the four weeks prior to the inspection showed that safe staffing levels were maintained.
