What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 25 November 2022 · Last inspected 26 October 2022
Inspectors found that the home is well run day to day in some respects: permanent staff were described as caring, respectful and attentive to choice and dignity, infection control was good, and relatives said they were kept well informed about their family member's health. A new manager has been appointed, and the report says an action plan is in place to address earlier shortfalls. However, the report judges that risks to people were not consistently identified or reviewed, care assessments were missing, incomplete or out of date, and medicines management and staff training and supervision needed improvement.
- Permanent staff were described as delivering caring, patient and respectful care that supports people's dignity and independence
- Infection prevention and control systems were rated as good, and the premises and equipment were clean
- Relatives said staff kept them well informed about their family member's health and wellbeing
- The provider has made environmental improvements, including redecoration, new furniture and a café, with further plans in place
- Individual risks to people were not always identified, recorded, reduced or reviewed, placing people at risk of harm
- Care assessments were missing, incorrect, lacking detail or not reviewed, and agency staff were covering shifts, which risked inappropriate care
- Medicines management and night-time staffing levels were judged to need improvement, including for emergency evacuation
