Key Finding
"Supportive management working alongside staff, a family atmosphere and stable long-term team, although activities lack specialist programmes and training misses career paths."
Safety & Risk

Medicines were managed safely. We observed a registered nurse on part of a medicine round and their practice was seen to be safe.
Staff Culture
9/10

Staff we spoke to had good morale and clearly enjoyed working at Heather House. One member of staff told us, 'There is a family atmosphere here, everyone asks how you are. It is a friendly place to work.'
Staffing Levels

✓
A number of staff had worked at the service for many years, this provided people with a continuity of care, which was important as people's needs were complex.
Training & Dev
7/10

Staff were supported and had access to a range of training in a variety of areas. Staff had regular supervision with their line managers which was an opportunity to discuss any concerns, training needs or any other support required.
Management
8/10
