Key Finding
"Good training with supervision and enough staff to spend time with residents, but no registered manager and inconsistent pressure sore prevention hold it back."
Safety & Risk
4/10
!
Risks to people were assessed but action had not always been taken to mitigate these... measures taken to assess and manage the risk of pressures areas were found to be in need of improvement.
Staff Culture
6/10
✓
Staff told us they felt able to raise any issues or concerns which were listened to and acted on. Staff reported they worked well as a team.
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
Staff said they considered there were enough staff on duty to meet people's needs... one staff member said there was enough staff so they had time to spend time with people rather than just enough time to complete care tasks.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Staff had access to a range of training courses including nationally recognised qualifications in care. Staff were also supported with supervision and their performance was monitored by regular appraisals.
Management
3/10
✕
The service did not have a registered manager in post but the current manager had submitted an application to register with the Commission.
Programmes
6/10
✓
There was an activity programme... A range of activities were provided including gentle exercise, a gardening club, an art class, coffee mornings and musical entertainment.
Points to consider
No permanent manager in post, so leadership lacks full stability.
The service did not have a registered manager in post but the current manager had submitted an application to register with the Commission.
Pressure sore prevention not consistent for residents at risk.
one person who was identified as being a high risk of developing pressure areas on their skin did not have a skin integrity care plan... these were inconsistently completed.
