What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 28 June 2023 · Last inspected 29 March 2023
Inspectors heard from people and their families that staff have good knowledge and that care feels safe. The report describes support that respects choice, timely access to healthcare, and care plans that are reviewed when needs change. Inspectors also found that the provider's checks on quality and safety still need to be strengthened.
- People and families described staff as knowledgeable and said they felt safe receiving support.
- Medicines were managed safely and there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
- New staff were recruited safely and their competence was checked before they worked alone.
- People were asked for their views often, concerns were handled promptly, and an open culture was in place.
- Some risks, including those linked to catheter care, were not always assessed, recorded or fully managed, which sometimes exposed people to avoidable harm.
- The provider's auditing processes need improvement, so the failings inspectors found had not been identified or addressed.
- The provider remained in breach of regulations at this inspection, so the previous action plan had not yet resolved the issues.
