"Supportive management and a positive family-like culture ensure safe care, although activities lack a dedicated coordinator and training is standard."
People were protected from identified risks. Risks to people's well-being were assessed, reviewed and managed safely... Medicines were managed, administered and stored safely.
There was a visible person-centred culture within the staffing team... A member of staff told us, 'It's a very homely place and people get great care, we are all part of a big family.' Staff were positive about how the service was run.
Staff told us there were enough staff available to support people appropriately and staff rotas confirmed planned staffing levels were consistently maintained.

The registered manager demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of people's needs and the needs of the staffing team. Throughout our inspection we observed the registered manager interacted well with staff in a positive and supportive manner. 'The manager is very supportive and we can go to her at any time with anything.'
People were supported to access community services and to participate in activities of their choosing that met their needs... some people attended a local church for a weekly programme of music and singing. The service had its own mode of accessible transport.
No dedicated activities coordinator or special programmes, so the role involves mostly routine care with some community outings and church visits.
