What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 5 October 2023 · Last inspected 31 May 2023
Inspectors found the home was improving in many areas, and people and relatives gave broadly positive feedback, with staff described as kind. Medicines were mostly well managed, and the provider's leadership was open with inspectors about the challenges the service had faced. Some areas of everyday care still needed stronger practice.
- Residents and relatives praised the kindness of staff.
- Medicines were mostly well managed.
- Staff understood safeguarding procedures, and most knew how to identify and raise concerns.
- The provider made management changes quickly and was open and honest with inspectors about the service's challenges.
- Safeguarding was not always managed robustly, and some incidents were not notified to the regulator at the time.
- Staff did not always recognise a person's deteriorating health and act promptly, which the report links to language barriers and skill gaps. A more proactive approach was needed for people living with dementia.
- People were not always supported to make their own choices in the least restrictive way, and staff showed limited understanding of the Mental Capacity Act.
