Key Finding
"Staff feel supported by management with good training, positive culture and strong safety, although some agency staffing and basic activities hold it back."

Staff Culture
7/10
✓
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Staff told us they felt supported by the registered manager and worked well together as a team. One member of staff said, 'We want people to be happy and achieve any goals they want to work towards.'
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: There was a consistent staff team and where agency staff were utilised they used a regular agency, so they had a chance to know people and their routine. The registered manager had recruited some agency staff to permanent posts.
Training & Dev
7/10

Programmes
6/10
✓
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Social activities were very inclusive... two planned activities a day... coffee morning every Tuesday, Arts and Crafts every Thursday... bingo... church service... staff went out for walks with people.
Points to consider
Staffing is adequate with enough staff on shift but they sometimes use agency workers from a regular agency.
Per 2019: there was a consistent staff team and where agency staff were utilised they used a regular agency, so they had a chance to know people and their routine.
Activities are regular and varied like bingo, crafts, coffee mornings and outings but basic group events with no specialist programmes or coordinator.
Per 2019: two planned activities a day... coffee morning every Tuesday, Arts and Crafts every Thursday... bingo... church service... out for walks.
