What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 31 August 2023 · Last inspected 11 July 2023
Inspectors found that people at Arnside Lodge felt safe and supported by staff, and that medicines were managed appropriately. However, the provider's oversight was not robust enough to spot and fix problems, including gaps in health and safety checks and staff training.
- People reported feeling safe and supported living at the service.
- Medicines were managed appropriately.
- Staff were recruited through safe recruitment processes.
- Staff knew how to respond when accidents and incidents happened.
- The provider's quality assurance systems were not fully developed, so they did not identify issues such as health and safety checks and staff training.
- Not all staff had training relevant to their roles and to people's care and support needs.
- People did not always have as much choice and control over their lives as they should, and the service's policies did not always support the least restrictive approach to care.
