What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 2 February 2023 · Last inspected 4 January 2023

Inspectors found the home has improved since its last inspection, under a newer manager and team. Staff are described as working well together, understanding their roles, and having the training and skills to support people safely. The atmosphere is reported as positive, though the home still needs to strengthen its activities for residents.

Strengths noted
  • Systems for recording and reporting safeguarding concerns, accidents and incidents are now in place, and staff understand their roles in this area.
  • Medicines are managed better than before, and people receive their prescribed medicines when they need them.
  • The home works well with outside professionals and the local community.
  • Staff training and competency checks have improved, and the provider's quality checks are driving improvements to the premises, fire safety and incident reviews.
Areas to improve
  • The building layout sometimes meant staff could not help people in their bedrooms, and inspectors recommend changes to how staff are deployed.
  • Care plans have been updated but could be made more personalised to each person.
  • Activities for people could be improved further, and the manager has said these will be strengthened.
