During an inspection looking at part of the service
Rosina Gardens provides rehabilitation and recovery care for up to 14 adults who have mental health issues. There were 10 people using the service at the time of this inspection.
At this inspection we found there were enough staff to support people with their needs. Staffing levels continued to be maintained at a consistent level. Senior staff monitored staffing levels daily and could utilise additional staff to cover any unexpected gaps, should these arise. Staff were committed to the people they looked after and told us they wished to continue supporting people living at Rosina Gardens.
There was no registered manager for the service at the time of this inspection. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
There were interim arrangements in place to adequately cover the day to day management of the service. The senior staff team were clear about their management responsibilities and duties, including notifying CQC about events or incidents that occurred at the service. Staff said the senior staff team were accessible and supportive and they could speak with them at any time if they had any issues or concerns.
The senior staff team were working with the local authority and commissioners to ensure there was stability and continuity at the service. They had plans in place to ensure there were enough resources, at the time of this inspection, to ensure the service could be adequately maintained and people continued to have their needs met.
We will continue to monitor the situation and are working closely with the senior staff team and the local authority to ensure people remain safe.
