Key Finding
"Supportive management and a strong team culture, but basic activities without a coordinator and unclear staff retention hold it back."
Safety & Risk

We reviewed the training matrix and saw staff had completed mandatory training. All support workers were undertaking additional training for their role, such as mental health awareness and positive behaviour support.
Management
8/10
✓
Staff told us they felt well supported by the management team. One support worker said, 'She's the best boss I've ever had. [Registered manager] and [deputy manager] are brilliant with me... It's a great team.'
Programmes
5/10
!
People had varied activities programmes... One person accessed day centres and an arts and crafts group... weekly walking group and swimming sessions. Two people had been supported to stay in Blackpool.
Points to consider
No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly routine support for daily living and independence skills with basic outings.
People had varied activities programmes to prevent them from becoming socially isolated. One person accessed day centres and an arts and crafts group... weekly walking group and swimming sessions.
Staff numbers are enough with one always on duty, but no details on long-term staff staying or easy workloads.
