What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 22 March 2023 · Last inspected 12 January 2023
Inspectors found that staff know people well and take a person-centred approach, though this is not always written down in care records. Relatives and people using the service appeared happy and relaxed, and staff described recent improvements to the home, activities and staffing under a manager who has been in post since late 2022. Some care plans were out of date or contained conflicting information about people's needs.
- Relatives described staff as very kind and excellent.
- People seemed happy and relaxed during the inspection.
- Staff were positive about the current manager and about improvements being made to the home.
- Systems for the safe handling, storage and disposal of medicines were in place.
- Management of 'when required' medicines was not always effective.
- Risks were not consistently monitored around people's care needs or fire safety.
- Care plans did not always hold accurate, up-to-date information, and records did not fully support least restrictive practice; Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards paperwork was not complete for everyone.
