Good facilities, nice rooms, staff pleasant but needs more effort how to
communicate with residents using signs. PECS exist but forgotten to be
used. Poor day structure, communication. Residents unsupervised in the
house. No management who can run this provision smoothly and
effectively. Website out of date. Generally chaos and noise, not always
from residents. Residents are not compatible with others, which takes
resources leaving others in the care of an agency staff. It creates
stress and anxiety in residents which is not controlled well by not
experienced staff. Nice furniture in the sitting area currently
destroyed by not compatible residents which makes communal area abounded
and not welcoming. Problems with food shortage on daily basis. It is
quite new provision so problems are expected but it is not getting
better at all. Chaos remains on daily basis therefore I am not in
position to recommend this provision as it stands today but there is
hope in the future.
