All Inspections

30 August and 5 September 2012

During a routine inspection

During our inspection we spoke with six people who used the service. They told us that the staff looked after them well. One person told us that they (the staff) "Look after me well." They added that the staff were always "Too busy." Some of the people we spoke with knew about their care plans but told

us they didn't discuss them with staff.

Care plans we looked at were not completed fully, with blank and duplicated documents and did not show evidence that the person they were about had contributed.

One person told us that the annual trip to the seaside had not happened. We were told this had been cancelled due to a lack of staff. We saw that staff were very busy, unable at one point to get someone who used the service a cup of tea. We were told there had been shortages of staff for the last two months and staffing rotas we looked at confirmed this.
