Working at The Farmhouse

Safeguarding systems were in place. Risk assessments were in place to ensure people received safe care. Medicines were being managed safely. Accidents and incidents were reviewed and lessons learnt.

Relatives and staff told us there was an open and positive culture at the service. Staff told us they had no concerns about the home, felt supported and enjoyed working at the home.

We observed there was enough staff to support people safely and staff rota confirmed this, which included 1:1 support.

Staff had completed key training to perform their role effectively, which included training in learning disabilities and autism. Staff also received regular support through supervisions and appraisals.

Staff were positive about the management of the home and the support they received from the registered manager. A relative said, 'The manager is very hands on, and seems to lead by example.'
