"Positive open culture and safe staffing levels, but no permanent manager and unsafe medicines management are major concerns."
Medicines were not always managed safely. Medication stock did not always match with what was documented... Risks were not always being appropriately managed... Necessary DoLS referrals were not always being made.
The service promoted a positive open culture. Feedback from staff, people and relatives about the management was positive.
Staffing levels were safe... However, recruitment practices required some improving. We found 1 person had incomplete interview notes and another staff member had gaps in employment that had not been addressed.
Various training courses were available for staff... However, we found that some training courses were not being completed in line with the providers policy. Staff supervisions were not happening in line with the provider's policy.
The service did not have a registered manager in post. However, the manager was in the process of completing their application.
The service had an activities coordinator who planned and led on a variety of activities for people living in the home, however feedback on activities was mixed.
No permanent manager in post yet, so leadership and oversight feel unstable.
The service did not have a registered manager in post.
Medication errors like stock mismatches and missing dates on liquids, plus no risk assessments for falls or the medicines room.
Medication stock did not always match with what was documented on medication administration record (MAR)... Liquid medication was not always dated when opened... slips, trips and falls risk assessments were not in place.
Not all staff training completed as per policy, and supervisions not regular.
not all training was being completed in line policy... Staff supervisions were not happening in line with the provider's policy.
