What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 23 January 2023 · Last inspected 15 December 2022
Inspectors found that Cherry Garth had made the changes needed to meet regulations since its last inspection, and it is no longer in Special Measures. Care plans and risk assessments were rewritten to be more individual, staffing was judged sufficient despite many vacancies, and people described a wide range of activities and good meals. The report still calls for better dementia-friendly design, more time to embed governance, and improved staff morale.
- Care plans and risk assessments were replaced and tailored more closely to each person
- Medicines safety has improved, and incidents and accidents are logged and followed up consistently
- People reported a wide range of activities and events, and meals were described as nutritious
- Oversight by the management team is better, with actions followed up more proactively
- Staff vacancies are high and an ongoing recruitment programme is still needed
- The premises need further work to become a more dementia-friendly environment
- Complaints raised directly with head office were not always recorded in the service's complaints register
