What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 22 November 2022 · Last inspected 14 November 2022

Inspectors found that the home had acted on earlier concerns and was no longer in breach of regulations. Premises were being maintained to a safe, clean standard, and a new registered manager worked with the provider, with governance systems that monitored quality. Staff were described as numerous enough, well trained and in good spirits, and people appeared comfortable in their company.

Strengths noted
  • Improvements to the premises and equipment were made and are ongoing, with the home kept clean and hygienic
  • Governance and oversight are visible, with a new registered manager and provider both present in the home
  • Risks are monitored with management plans, and referrals to healthcare are made in good time
  • People are supported to make choices, with staff acting in the least restrictive way and in people's best interests
Areas to improve
  • The report notes that improvements to premises and equipment are still ongoing rather than complete
