What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 30 March 2023 · Last inspected 14 February 2023
Inspectors found the home has improved over time. People feel safe, and staff understand their roles, are motivated, and are well supported. Care is described as person-centred, respecting people's dignity and privacy, and supporting their choices with as few restrictions as possible.
- People were safeguarded from harm and abuse, and their medicines were managed so they received them on time.
- Staff understood how to manage risks and what to do in an emergency, and they were recruited and deployed safely.
- Care was person-centred, promoted dignity and privacy, and respected people's human rights and choices.
- People, relatives and staff were confident in the culture and day-to-day running of the home, and a registered manager leads the service.
- The provider's oversight was not fully effective in acting promptly and consistently on the findings of its own quality and safety checks.
