What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 21 April 2021 · Last inspected 9 March 2021
Inspectors found that residents described being happy with their care and staff, with relatives generally feeling their family members were safe, though visiting restrictions during the pandemic limited what they could say. Relatives raised concerns about high staff turnover, heavy use of agency staff, and weak communication from the service during the pandemic. The report says the interim manager has been working on communication, staff training and supervision, and staff spoke positively of them.
- Residents said they felt at home and described staff as kind and friendly
- Staff were described as working hard in a difficult job, including through three outbreaks of the virus
- Staff were safely recruited, and medicines practice and staffing levels were found to be appropriate
- Staff said the interim manager was accessible, supportive and listened to their concerns
- Some risks to people were identified but not always managed, and infection control practices needed improvement
- Records about people's care and the running of the service were not always accurate or maintained, and learning from accidents, incidents, safeguarding and complaints needed to improve
- Feedback on food and activities was mixed, and high staff turnover and agency use affected continuity of care
