What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 20 February 2023 · Last inspected 12 January 2023
Inspectors describe a home that has made clear improvements since its last inspection, with a newly appointed registered manager who is working with the provider and staff to drive changes. The report says people and their families feel care is safe and delivered by kind staff who respect dignity, and that staff know people well and support a range of daily activities. Inspectors note that the newer management systems still need time to become fully established as the home's numbers grow.
- People, staff and relatives speak positively about the management team, and regular meetings give them a way to share their views
- Medicines are managed safely, infection control was observed to be good, and staff have had safeguarding training
- Staff are described as kind and caring, supporting people's choice, independence and involvement in decisions about their care
- A varied programme of daily activities is available, and staff spend time with people in their bedrooms
- The report says the improved systems for meeting care needs and identifying areas for improvement still need time to embed into everyday practice as the home grows
