What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 5 July 2023 · Last inspected 16 March 2023

Inspectors found that the home was clean and well maintained, with staff who understood infection control and safe hygiene. People were supported by enough safely recruited staff, and their routine health needs were met. Staff were described as kind and caring, with respectful relationships with people and their families, and people felt able to raise concerns.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as kind and caring, and treated people with dignity and respect.
  • Staff understood how to protect people from harm and followed safe infection control practices.
  • Routine health needs were met, and staff made referrals when additional health support was needed.
  • People and relatives said managers were supportive and that they felt able to raise concerns.
Areas to improve
  • Medicines were not always managed safely.
  • People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control, and the policies and systems did not support least restrictive practice.
  • Food and fluid records did not always show how much people needed to drink to stay well, and care plans needed more work to reflect people's preferences and communication needs.
