What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 7 August 2023 · Last inspected 12 May 2023

Inspectors found that people and their relatives were positive about the care they receive, describing staff as kind and responsive to their needs. Staffing has improved since the last inspection, with new recruits in post and less reliance on agency staff, and the atmosphere in the home was described as warm and welcoming. The report notes that some care records, including risk assessments and care plans, need more regular review and more individual detail.

Strengths noted
  • People and relatives said staff were caring and responsive, and people were supported to make choices and stay in control of their lives.
  • Recruitment was carried out safely, new staff had been appointed, and the use of agency staff had fallen since the last inspection.
  • Medicines were managed safely, the home was clean and well maintained, and fire safety measures were in place.
  • Staff understood how to report safeguarding concerns, and the new manager was well known to people and staff and was viewed positively.
Areas to improve
  • Records of mental capacity assessments and decisions were not always reviewed promptly when a person's circumstances changed.
  • One person's risk assessment did not reflect their current needs, and some care plans need further updates and more person-centred detail.
  • Some maintenance checks were still in progress following the appointment of a new maintenance operative.
