Medicines were handled through established systems, infection control followed current guidance, and people's food, cultural and health needs were considered. Activities were offered daily and people could choose whether to take part, and the report describes a positive atmosphere under the new registered manager.
- Staff knew people well, had been trained in safeguarding and safe support, and acted on concerns that were raised.
- Medicines management systems were robust, and people were supported to receive their medicines as prescribed.
- Staff felt supported, with regular supervision, staff meetings and surveys, and people's views on daily activities shaped their care plans.
- The new registered manager and deputy had a clear vision, and inspectors found the provider had made improvements since the previous inspection.
- The environment was being refurbished at the time of the inspection, and people had been consulted about the redecoration.
