What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 9 May 2023 · Last inspected 26 April 2023

Inspectors found Beth Ezra, a residential home for up to 20 people, some of them older people living with dementia, to be safe and well led. Staff are trained to protect people, know the risks they face, and respond quickly when support is needed. People described being satisfied with their care, said their views are sought and acted on, and visitors are free to come and go without unnecessary limits.

Strengths noted
  • Staff are trained to safeguard people and know how to raise concerns.
  • There are enough staff, and people do not wait long for help.
  • Medicines are managed safely, and people take them as prescribed.
  • The registered manager audits the service and reviews accidents and incidents, sharing the lessons with staff.
Areas to improve
  • Some staff were employed before all pre-employment checks were complete; the registered manager is acting so that such decisions are risk-assessed and recorded.
  • Some people said they would like more interaction with the registered manager, and a plan to increase the manager's visibility is already in place.
