Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Since I came here in October 2018 this place has helped me grow so much. However I have to say since this pandemic started, other than the masks, the care we have all received has not changed whatsoever, which I think in a setting such as this and the types of mental health problems people suffer within
the homes, it is extremely important to not have that much of a change as it creates instability.
I do think, however, the fact they are coming to work they are putting their own health and wellbeing on the line and as such, they should be compensated in some way. I know of many places that due to the risks involved they have been given a temporary pay increase or a bonus, so why not here, this is arguably a hugely profitable company considering the amount it costs per week. So I personally think the staff should be heavily rewarded in some way, it's all about appreciating the ones that keep this bus ticking over, which, I don't think is too much of an out-there idea do you?

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
