What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 6 October 2021 · Last inspected 7 September 2021
Inspectors found that De Brook Lodge, which cares for up to 52 older people including some living with dementia, was providing safe and personalised support after a period of concern. Following a new manager's appointment, staffing levels were raised, medicines were managed through trained and assessed staff, and care plans were detailed and reviewed with health professionals where needs changed. People and visitors described staff positively and said they could raise issues, though the report notes earlier shortfalls that the management team had to work through.
- Staffing was increased so that enough staff were always on shift, with further recruitment and more flexible shift patterns under way
- Care plans were personalised, recorded people's wishes and feelings, and had risks assessed and planned for
- Staff who give medicines completed training and assessments to check their practice was safe
- A range of activities gave people variety in their day, and people and visitors spoke positively about the staff
- The management team acknowledged that improvements were needed to make care safe and effective, and a range of audits and actions were taken in response
- Issues found in one unit were resolved during the inspection, and managers worked with the local authority on recent concerns
