What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 15 November 2023 · Last inspected 16 October 2023
Inspectors rated this home, which cares for older people including those living with dementia, as good overall, the same as at its previous inspection. The report describes safe medicines handling, recruitment, safeguarding and infection control, along with care plans that identify individual risks. Inspectors also found that some people waited long periods for personal care, that some social needs were not being met, and that one person's records needed more detail on medicine administration.
- A volunteer activities team provides opportunities for engagement and interaction that help reduce isolation.
- Medicines are managed safely, staff are recruited in line with legislation, and safeguarding concerns and accidents are reported to the right bodies with effective follow-up.
- Care plans and risk assessments identify individual risks, such as falls, pressure damage and poor nutrition, and staff support people in line with that guidance.
- Staff competence is monitored, infection control systems are in place, and people are supported to make choices in the least restrictive way, with feedback sought and work done alongside other professionals.
- Some people waited prolonged periods for their personal care needs to be met, because of staff availability.
- Comments from people and inspectors' observations indicated that some people's social needs were not being met.
- One person's care records did not give specific details on how staff should give medicines through a PEG feeding tube; the report says this was addressed during the inspection.
