Key Finding
"Staff love the family-like culture and feel supported by approachable management, but staffing lacks stability and activities miss specialist programmes."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Risk assessments were in place for all people... regularly reviewed and updated... People's medication was managed well... clear system in place to report and investigate any incidents of abuse.
Staff Culture
9/10
✓
All staff told us the home was a positive place to work and spoke highly of the culture and environment. 'I love it here, were like a family.' 'This is the best place I've ever worked.'
Staffing Levels
6/10
✓
The registered manager ensured there was sufficient numbers of staff on duty to meet people's needs. This was confirmed through our observations during the inspection.
Training & Dev
7/10

People were cared for by a staff team who had received regular and appropriate training specific to their needs. This included training in mental health needs, dementia, moving and handling among others. Staff received regular supervision.
Management
8/10
✓
People and their relatives told us they felt able to raise any issues they may have, felt listened to and felt the registered manager and wider management team were good. '[Registered manager] is always coming round for a chat, they're very good.'
Programmes
6/10
✓
Per 2019 comprehensive inspection: nominated staff member who assisted... people were supported to go to the local cinema... gardening and taking part in animal therapy... exercise classes, flower arranging classes and games... good links with the local schools.
Points to consider
Staff numbers meet needs but no word on stable long-serving team or very low agency use to keep workloads light.
