Key Finding
"Staff retention is strong with long-term teams, supportive management and positive culture, although activities lack variety beyond basics."
Safety & Risk
8/10
✓
Per 2021 targeted inspection: We were assured that the provider was preventing visitors from catching and spreading infections, using personal protective equipment (PPE) effectively and safely, and making sure infection outbreaks can be effectively prevented or managed.
Staff Culture
8/10
✓
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: All staff we spoke with felt very well supported in their role, knew what was expected of them and told us they really enjoyed working at the home.
Staffing Levels
8/10
✓
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: The registered manager told us agency staff were never used and most care staff had been working in the home for several years. This helped to provide consistency of care to people and staff knew people well.
Training & Dev
7/10
✓
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: Staff were routinely provided with core, health and safety themed training, as well as training relevant to people's needs. The registered manager told us two staff were also undertaking specialist, high level training in caring for people living with dementia and were cascading this learning.
Management
8/10
✓
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: Staff we spoke could not speak highly enough of the registered manager. They told us they could speak with them at any time and were actively encouraged to raise concerns and question practice.
Programmes
6/10
✓
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: There was activity co-ordinator to provide social activities... chair exercises. Normally games in the afternoon... I like gardening.
Points to consider
Only regular basic activities like chair exercises, games and gardening with a coordinator, no specialist programmes to add variety to the working day.
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: There was activity co-ordinator to provide social activities and stimulation. There were two notice boards showing that there was a good range of activities... chair exercises. Normally games in the afternoon... I like gardening.
