"Staff feel supported with good training, positive culture and varied activities, but no permanent manager and safety risks from poor infection control hold it back."
The quality and accuracy of the information recorded within people's risk assessments and care plans were not consistent... People were placed at risk of acquiring an infectious disease... laundry area were not sealed to enable effective cleaning.
Positive feedback was received by CQC about the recently appointed manager. The feedback referenced the positive working atmosphere and praised the manager for the time spent with people and staff.
There were enough staff who had the right skills and experience to keep people safe and meet their needs. Staff spoken with told us there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: Training was monitored and kept up to date. Nurses and staff accessed specialist training where necessary to meet people's specific needs.
The service did not have a registered manager. The recently appointed manager had taken up their role in January 2021 having previously been the deputy manager.
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: The activity co-ordinator provided a range of individual and group activities for people. These included bingo, word games, and individual activities such as staff reading to people.

Safety risks from inaccurate risk assessments and poor infection control setup in the laundry.
Risk assessments... not always completed accurately... flooring and walls in the laundry area were not sealed to enable effective cleaning, and items of laundry were stored on the floor.
Staffing is adequate and meets needs but residents note occasional busyness delaying responses.
A person told us, 'Staff are good they come quickly... If they are busy, they can't come quickly but they explain and return.'
