What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 9 March 2023 · Last inspected 7 February 2023

People and their relatives described the home, its staff and managers in positive terms, and inspectors found that people felt safe and that their needs were well met. Care and risk plans were personalised and reviewed regularly, and people and their families were involved in reviewing them. Inspectors found improvements since the previous inspection, when the provider was in breach of regulations on safe care and governance; the provider is no longer in breach.

Strengths noted
  • Care and risk management plans are tailored to individual needs and preferences and are kept up to date.
  • Staff support people to take medicines safely, and staff are recruited safely and trained to a competent standard.
  • Staff know how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns, and the registered manager works with other agencies when concerns arise.
  • The home is clean, infection prevention procedures are in place, and the service works with a range of professionals to provide joined-up care.
