Points to consider
Staffing is adequate but nothing special, with no details on low agency use or stable long-serving teams.
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: staffing levels were sufficient to safely meet the needs of the people living in the home.
Some small problems keeping staff areas clean and one mistake throwing away used protective gear the right way.
2022 targeted inspection: minor shortfalls in the cleanliness and decoration of some areas accessed exclusively by staff... one instance when the provider's procedural requirements on the disposal of used PPE had not been followed.
