What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 4 May 2022 · Last inspected 25 March 2022
Inspectors found that people's experience of support was inconsistent at times, and some felt isolated, which affected their wellbeing. Care plans did not always capture what mattered most to each person, though the provider has introduced new software to address this. Governance systems are in place, but the report notes that some actions were not always completed, and many changes were recent.
- People and relatives felt care was safe, and staff knew when to raise concerns to protect people.
- Risk assessments reflected individual needs, and staff sought input from health professionals when needed.
- Medicines were given as needed, and infection prevention and control measures and PPE use were in place.
- Professionals spoke positively about the registered manager's support and the relationships built with them.
- Support from staff was not always consistent, and some people felt isolated.
- Care plans did not always allow people's individual priorities to be recorded.
- Some improvement actions identified through audits were not always completed.
