What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 19 July 2023 · Last inspected 28 June 2023

Inspectors describe staff as familiar with the people they support, treating them kindly and respectfully, and encouraging independence while still helping with safety risks. A recent period of management change had affected staff morale, communication and engagement with people and their relatives, though the deputy manager's new initiatives were well received. The report says a service improvement plan is being put into practice.

Strengths noted
  • Staff know people well and treat them with kindness and respect.
  • People are supported to make choices and stay as independent as possible, with care provided in the least restrictive way.
  • Medicines are managed with staff support, and infection prevention and control procedures are in place, keeping the home clean and hygienic.
  • Staff are trained to recognise and report abuse, and the service works well with other agencies to protect people, with enough skilled staff to meet needs.
Areas to improve
  • Recent instability in the management of the home affected staff morale, communication and engagement with people and their relatives.
  • A detailed service improvement plan is in place, and the report indicates that the management team is still implementing these improvements.
