Key Finding
"Great management and a happy team like family with stable staffing, although activities lack specialist programmes and there is no career development."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Medicines systems were safely organised, and people received their medicines when they were prescribed. Weekly medicines audits picked up any errors and staff could tell us how they were managed.
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
'I love my job, the team is brilliant, it's the best home, people here are like family'.
Staffing Levels
7/10
✓
There were sufficient staff to meet people's needs. Staff told us staffing levels were good and they rarely used agency as staff worked flexible shifts to cover sickness.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff told us they received regular supervision and appraisals. Staff working on the learning disability wing had specific learning disability training.
Management
8/10
✓
Staff told us the registered manager was very good and it was a happy place to work. 'I love my job, the team is brilliant, it's the best home, people here are like family'.
Programmes
6/10
✓
People told us there were lots of activities provided by their coordinator, and we saw pictures of lots of events that had occurred. The service had a minibus to access the community and went out on trips twice a week.
Points to consider
Lots of regular activities and community trips with a coordinator, but no specialist programmes or innovative approaches to make the role more fulfilling.
