Management
5/10
!
People and their relatives told us the management team were all approachable and they had noticed positive changes taking place. One relative said, "The deputy manager is really helpful and understanding."
Programmes
4/10
!
People and their relatives told us they were happy with the care they received, and more activities were available. One person told us they had recently enjoyed a trip out to a garden centre.
Points to consider
Managers are approachable and making positive changes, but their checks miss some issues like medication record problems that linger.
Although improvements had been made to the audits process, some minor issues were being missed. For example, we found some recording issues with medicine management.
Staffing is enough to meet needs but staff seem busy and stretched at times.
One relative said, "They [staff] seem very busy but I think there is enough staff."
Only basic outings and more activities mentioned, no structured programme or coordinator to make the role varied and fun.
