What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 13 July 2023 · Last inspected 18 May 2023

Inspectors found that the home's care is delivered by trained, capable staff who understand each resident's individual needs. Everyday support covers managing risks, giving medicines, controlling infections, providing meals suited to eating and drinking needs, and arranging access to healthcare. Staff were described as caring and respectful, encouraging people to stay independent and take part in organised activities, and the report says people, relatives and staff were generally satisfied.

Strengths noted
  • Staff are trained in safeguarding and know how to raise concerns, and the home identifies and manages risks to people's safety.
  • Medicines are handled safely and infection control practices are followed.
  • Meals are healthy, and staff know how to support each person with eating and drinking, while people also get timely access to healthcare.
  • The leadership team is supportive, and managers and staff worked together to address shortfalls found at the previous inspection, so the home is no longer in breach of regulations.
