What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 27 March 2023 · Last inspected 15 February 2023

Inspectors found that people and their relatives spoke positively about the service and the management team's communication, and that staff felt supported and had received suitable, ongoing training. However, high levels of support need meant staff sometimes had little time for social engagement, and there were not always enough staff to respond quickly to people's needs.

Strengths noted
  • Staff recruitment checks were carried out in line with requirements.
  • Staff received training suited to their roles, with ongoing training in place.
  • The newly appointed manager showed a positive approach to making improvements.
  • Staff said they felt well supported by the management team.
Areas to improve
  • Systems for assessing and monitoring risk did not identify some concerns seen during the inspection, which put people at risk.
  • Care records did not always match what inspectors observed, so people were not consistently receiving person-centred support.
  • Practice under the Mental Capacity Act was not always followed, and inspectors recommended that records be reviewed.
