What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 8 June 2022 · Last inspected 3 May 2022

Inspectors heard that relatives found caregivers warm and compassionate, though they also felt the team was stretched and strained. Medicines were handled safely, and there were enough staff familiar with residents to give support. The home's surroundings, cleanliness, record-keeping and oversight were found to fall short of the expected standard.

Strengths noted
  • Relatives spoke positively about the compassion staff showed to their loved ones
  • Medicines were given safely
  • There were enough staff familiar with residents to provide support
  • Staff recognised changes in health, sought professional advice when needed, and were confident about raising safeguarding concerns
Areas to improve
  • Parts of the premises were judged unclean and unsafe, and infection prevention practices did not adequately protect people
  • Care records were often incomplete, and care plans were not updated when needs changed
  • Leadership and quality-monitoring systems were not used effectively to identify risks, and required daily checks were not always carried out
