What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 5 September 2022 · Last inspected 3 August 2022
Inspectors found that some risks to people were not fully assessed or acted on, and that governance checks did not always drive improvement across the home. Staff were described as understanding their safeguarding roles, people generally felt safe, and the home was clean. Care planning, record keeping and end-of-life documentation needed further work, and views on staffing levels and food were mixed.
- Staff understood their roles in keeping people safe, and people generally felt safe
- The home was clean and tidy, and people were treated well and their privacy and dignity respected
- People were supported to reach healthcare services, and staff received the training and support they needed
- The chef would offer alternatives when people did not like the menu, and adapted equipment supported independence at mealtimes
- Risks to people were not always fully assessed and mitigated, and lessons were not always learnt when things went wrong
- Governance and quality systems needed further embedding so that checks led to improvement across the home
- Care planning and record keeping varied, including records relating to end-of-life care, and the induction of agency staff needed further improvement
