Management
4/10
!
Systems in place to monitor the service were not always effective and instrumental in identifying concerns and taking appropriate actions.
Programmes
4/10
!
People were involved in social events and took part in planning holidays, activities and celebrations such as birthdays and seasonal events.
Points to consider
The manager's checks missed problems like dirty areas and medication record errors, so oversight is not reliable.
A range of quality audits had not always been instrumental in identifying or resolving the issues we found during our inspection.
Only basic social events and holidays, no activities coordinator or varied programme to make the job more interesting.
People were involved in social events and took part in planning holidays, activities and celebrations such as birthdays and seasonal events.
Staffing is adequate with enough staff on shift, but no details on low agency use or stable team to keep workloads easy.
We observed enough staff available to support people in line with their current needs.
