What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 17 June 2021 · Last inspected 11 May 2021

Inspectors carried out a focused review of safety and well-led arrangements at this extra care service, which provides personal care to 120 people across four flat-based sites. They found safeguarding systems, risk assessment, recruitment, staffing, infection control and medicines management in place, and said lessons were learnt when things went wrong. People and relatives spoke highly of the service, and the registered manager was described as understanding their responsibilities.

Strengths noted
  • Safeguarding systems were in place to protect people from abuse
  • Staffing levels and recruitment processes were robust enough to support people safely
  • Medicines were managed safely and infection prevention measures were in place
  • People and relatives thought highly of the service, and the registered manager understood regulatory requirements
Areas to improve
  • Quality assurance processes were in place but were not always effective, and staff sometimes audited their own work
