What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 19 April 2024 · Last inspected 13 December 2023

Inspectors found that everyday care did not consistently keep people safe or reflect their individual needs. Staffing was not always sufficient to care for and monitor people, and there was a lack of planned activities, so some people were seen sitting in the same position for long periods. The report also says meals did not always meet people's needs or preferences, and the environment lacked person-centred detail.

Strengths noted
  • The home has accessible parking and a well-kept garden outside.
  • Nursing care is provided across two floors to meet a range of needs, including for people living with dementia.
  • The provider sent an action plan with timescales for improving the high-risk areas inspectors identified.
Areas to improve
  • Medicines were not always stored correctly, and medication management did not identify these problems.
  • People's weights were not effectively monitored, and guidance for staff on specific health needs was not always sufficient.
  • People were not always offered choices about where and with whom they ate, and they were not always supported to have maximum choice and control over their lives.
