"Strong management and a supportive culture where staff feel valued, but unclear staff retention and limited activities programmes hold it back."
People were safeguarded and protected from potential abuse. Staff knew how to recognise, and report safeguarding concerns... Risks to people were assessed and measures were taken to reduce these to maximise people's independence... The service was not risk adverse. Staff encouraged people to make choices and take managed risks... Staff told us they were confident they could speak up if mistakes were made.
Staff enjoyed working at the service and were clear on their roles and responsibilities. Without exception they told us they felt supported and valued by the management team. One staff member told us 'I'm really privileged to work in such a brilliant place'
People were supported by a consistent staff team. There were enough staff to support people safely.
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: Staff had received an induction and on-going training that enabled them to carry out their role effectively... offered training specific to the people they supported for example; mental health, diabetes and stroke awareness... I am currently doing my level 3 diploma in Health and Social Care; regular supervisions.
The registered manager had oversight of the service on a day to day basis and knew people well. They delivered care and support to people alongside their staff and were knowledgeable and committed to providing high quality care.
Per 2018 comprehensive inspection: People were supported to access their community and take part in activities within the home, college courses and voluntary work... We take people to the allotment, to art groups, baking, do puzzles, colouring, and gardening... volunteering, swimming, go to the gym and football.
Staff numbers are enough for safe care with a consistent team, but no details on staff staying long-term or shifts allowing unhurried personalised time.
There were enough staff to support people safely.
Some outings to the gym, volunteering, college, baking and allotment, but no activities coordinator or special creative programmes to enrich the working day.
