What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 16 September 2022 · Last inspected 11 August 2022
Inspectors found that staff know the people they support well and tailor care to individual preferences, routines and communication needs, with care plans regularly reviewed. People and relatives described the home as safe, and staff told inspectors it was a safe place to work. Leaders were described as open and honest, with a positive culture, though the report notes that group and individual activities were not yet fully meeting people's needs.
- Staff know people and their preferences well, and people are given choices and encouraged to keep their routines and contact with friends and family.
- Medicines are given safely by trained staff, and personal protective equipment and infection prevention and control practices are effective.
- Complaints, accidents, incidents and safeguarding concerns are recorded, investigated and responded to appropriately.
- The management team is transparent, with a clear vision and values that staff understand and follow, and healthcare professionals described the service as well managed.
- Activities did not fully meet people's needs, although an activities co-ordinator had been employed, staff had access to external training, and the provider was updating its assessment of people's activity needs.
- Inspectors recommended that some areas of the home and mealtimes be used better to enhance the experience of people using the service.
