What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 20 September 2023 · Last inspected 18 July 2023

Inspectors carried out a focused review of safe and well-led aspects after concerns about health monitoring, and the service remains rated requires improvement. Some earlier issues had been addressed, but medicines handling, identifying and managing environmental risks, and provider oversight still needed work. Staffing levels and recruitment were found adequate, and the home was described as having a person-centred, caring culture where people's choices and dignity were respected.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were recruited safely and there were enough of them to meet people's needs
  • Staff followed infection control measures well
  • When things went wrong, the provider learned from it and improved its systems
  • The manager and staff were caring and respectful, and people were supported to make their own choices
Areas to improve
  • Medicines were not always managed or given safely and as prescribed
  • Environmental risks were not always identified and dealt with to keep people safe
  • The provider's audits and oversight of safety and quality needed further development
