From the latest CQC inspection
- At the time of the initial visit staffing levels were not sufficient to meet people’s needs consistently, which meant staff were often task‑focused and rushed.
- As a result, people sometimes waited longer for support, opportunities for meaningful interaction were limited, and the promotion of independence was less consistent.
- People, relatives and staff all described the impact of these pressures, and staff morale and wellbeing were affected.
- People noticed staff were often busy, which meant they sometimes waited for support or spent time alone.
