What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 24 January 2023 · Last inspected 15 December 2022
Inspectors found that the registered manager was accessible and that staff were kind, caring and had built positive relationships with people, who were involved in decisions about their care. Staff identified changes in people's health, worked with health professionals, and people liked the meals, though at times staff were stretched and people had to wait for support. The report describes the service as improved since its last inspection and no longer in special measures, with ongoing work still needed.
- The registered manager was described as open, approachable and inclusive, and people, relatives and staff expressed confidence in them.
- Staff were kind and caring, and people were involved in decisions about their care and support.
- Medicines were managed safely, and when things went wrong, changes were made to reduce future risk.
- Staff had the training and support they needed, and people were supported to keep in touch with people important to them.
- At times staff were very busy, so people sometimes waited for support, and on one occasion no staff were available in the communal lounge.
- Opportunities for people to pursue their interests and hobbies were limited.
- Staff did not always follow the conditions of people's deprivation of liberty authorisations, so some records supporting least restrictive practice were incomplete.
