Key Finding
"Staff enjoy a joyful culture and effective medicines management, but uncertain team stability and routine activities hold it back."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Medicines were managed and administered correctly, and audit processes were effective to identify and address any issues in a timely manner. Staff had their competency to administer medicines assessed regularly.
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
Staff spoke positively about working at Wavertree. Their comments included, 'This is a lovely home. [Registered manager] has an open door and is always around and approachable' and 'It is joyful working here, I really like the vision that they have for the place.'
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
Staff told us and people confirmed there were enough staff available to meet people's needs. The registered manager used a dependency tool to ensure there were enough staff with the right mix of skills on duty at any time.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff training was relevant and up to date... One staff member said, 'The training is very good, a real mix. [Provider] really invests in us and we're encouraged to progress.'
Management
7/10
✓
Staff told us the home atmosphere and ways of working were positive under the registered manager. One staff member told us, '[Registered manager] always has the time to support me.'
Programmes
6/10
✓
Many different activities were available for people to participate in. These were based on people's needs and preferences. We spoke with... the activity coordinator.
Points to consider
Staffing is sufficient to meet needs but there's no word on team stability or agency use, so shifts might sometimes feel stretched.
Staff told us and people confirmed there were enough staff available to meet people's needs.
Activities have variety and a coordinator but no specialist programmes like pet therapy, so the job might mostly be routine care.
