What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 13 September 2023 · Last inspected 15 August 2023
Inspectors found that people felt safe, were happy with their care, and described staff as kind and caring. Medicines were managed safely and risks to people's care were assessed. Decision-making around medicines, staffing of support roles and the environment still needed work.
- People told inspectors they felt safe, were content with their care, and found staff kind and caring.
- Medicines systems were managed safely, and potential risks linked to people's care were assessed.
- Meals were reported as satisfactory, and people's dietary needs were being met.
- Care records for diabetes and oxygen therapy were improved, supported by targeted staff training. Audits are now more frequent, and feedback from people and families is sought regularly.
- Some people were not always given maximum choice and control, and staff did not always use the least restrictive approach.
- Some medicines were given without people's knowledge, hidden in food or drink, without the required capacity assessments or best-interest decisions.
- Housekeeping, laundry and catering roles are part time, so care staff often covered these tasks. The large garden was poorly maintained, limiting people's use of it.
