What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 25 August 2022 · Last inspected 16 June 2022
Inspectors rated Brockington House Care Community as requiring improvement, after a first comprehensive inspection of this residential home for up to 70 people, including people with dementia. Staff were reported to support people to make their own choices about daily life, such as what and where to eat, and infection control and PPE use matched national guidance. The report found the home's care planning and risk assessments were not always detailed enough to guide staff safely.
- People said they felt safe living at the home, and one person described staff checking on them overnight.
- Safe recruitment was followed, and all staff received induction and shadowing.
- Staff had safeguarding training and felt confident that concerns about people's welfare would be acted upon.
- Staff followed COVID-19 infection control procedures and visitors followed infection prevention measures.
- Care plans and risk assessments did not always contain enough detail to show staff how to support people safely.
- Governance systems for reviewing accidents and incidents to spot trends were not yet in place; the registered manager had begun looking at this during the inspection.
