What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 9 August 2023 · Last inspected 19 June 2023

Inspectors found that most staff treated people with respect and dignity, and that the premises were clean with infection control in place. Improvements had followed local authority support, including a newly appointed activities team, but the report says governance and audit systems still need time to become established. Feedback from people and relatives on care planning involvement, healthcare support and making complaints was mixed.

Strengths noted
  • People said they felt safe living at the home, and inspectors saw a clean environment with infection control processes in place.
  • Staffing levels were sufficient to support people safely, and the provider followed safe recruitment procedures.
  • Staff received the training and support they needed, and trained chefs helped people to eat a balanced diet.
  • Responsive end of life care planning took place, and relatives said staff involved them in it.
Areas to improve
  • Safeguarding processes were not always robust enough, and lessons were not always learned when things went wrong.
  • Risks to people were not consistently assessed, and ineffective monitoring of pressure relieving equipment meant people were at risk of pressure sores; medical device checks and medicines management also fell short.
  • Governance and audit systems need review, and activities were not always consistently available or planned.
