Key Finding
"Enough staff, improved culture and engaging activities, but no registered manager and safety gaps like poor maintenance hold it back."
Safety & Risk
4/10
!
The lift had not been adequately maintained, which placed people at risk... Some staff were not clear about their responsibilities in the event of a fire... Some gaps were identified in recording associated with topical creams.
Staff Culture
6/10
✓
Staff told us the culture in the home had improved over the months since the home manager joined. They felt able to contribute their opinions and effective staff support was clearly important to the manager.
Staffing Levels
6/10

Staff had a visible presence throughout the home and feedback we received demonstrated there were sufficient numbers of staff.
Training & Dev
5/10
!
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Staff received induction, training and supervision to ensure that they had the right skills and abilities to support people.
Management
2/10
✕

Programmes
6/10
✓
In the morning, an activities coordinator held a reminiscence activity involving people who were asked about previous jobs and life experiences, which we saw they were engaged with. Some people had their nails done and later people were involved in arts and crafts outside.
Points to consider
No permanent manager in post, so less leadership stability and oversight for staff.
