What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 18 March 2020 · Last inspected 22 January 2020
Inspectors found that people were cared for by consistent staff who knew their needs well and treated them kindly and with respect. Staff encouraged people to make their own choices, and people and their relatives took part in planning care. Some care records were not fully accurate or up to date, though inspectors found this had not caused harm.
- Consistent staff knew residents' needs and preferences well and treated them with kindness and respect.
- Residents and their relatives were involved in planning care, and staff respected residents' decisions.
- Enough staff were deployed on each shift, and staff received appropriate training and good support from managers.
- Residents had access to a wide range of activities, events and outings, and their religious and spiritual needs were met.
- Some care records were not accurate or up to date, so care plans did not always reflect people's needs, creating a risk of inappropriate care. Inspectors made a recommendation about this.
