What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 22 February 2023 · Last inspected 18 January 2023
Inspectors found that people received safe care from staff who knew them well, and that people and relatives described staff as kind and caring. Staffing was judged sufficient, staff had been recruited with checks in place, and meals were described as fresh and nutritious. The report also notes gaps in the home's own quality checks, so the service was not without areas to improve.
- Staffing levels were judged enough to meet people's needs, and staff were recruited with pre-employment checks.
- Medicines were given safely by trained staff, and staff wore protective equipment correctly, with infection control measures in place.
- Inspectors saw staff treating people with dignity and respect, and people were supported to make choices and keep control of their lives.
- Staff received induction, training, supervision and appraisals, and said they felt supported by the senior team.
- Some problems inspectors found on the day had not been identified by the registered manager's own quality checks.
- The report recommends improving how accident and incident information is managed and analysed.
- The report recommends that mental capacity assessments be completed for one decision at a time, as some had been ticked across several decisions.
