What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 9 November 2022 · Last inspected 11 October 2022
Inspectors found staff were kind and considerate, and they encouraged people to stay independent in their own homes. Care plans gave staff useful information about each person, and people's medicines were handled safely. Some risk assessments needed more detail, and the report says improvements were needed in governance, safeguarding and call monitoring.
- Staff were described as kind and caring and as supporting people's independence.
- Individual care plans gave staff information about each person, including how to reduce risks of harm and injury.
- People received their medicines in a safe way.
- People were supported to make choices and keep control of their lives, with support given in the least restrictive way possible.
- The provider did not recognise and act quickly enough to keep one person safe, and safeguarding training was not always effective.
- Call monitoring systems were not effective, and a few people experienced missed or late calls, so call times were not consistent enough to meet people's needs.
- Quality checks such as audits and spot checks did not always identify where improvements were needed, and some risk assessments needed more detail.
