What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 9 March 2023 · Last inspected 22 December 2022
Inspectors found that everyday care for people in this residential and nursing home was generally managed well, with staff using protective equipment properly, completing infection prevention training, and being recruited safely. Relatives and staff said they felt confident in the manager and in how the provider works with others, and people were supported to make their own choices in the least restrictive way. The overall rating dropped from good to requires improvement because risk monitoring, care records and medicines management were not always kept safe and current.
- Staff use personal protective equipment effectively and have received infection prevention and control training
- Enough staff are on duty to meet people's needs, and staff are recruited safely
- People, relatives and staff feel confident raising concerns and believe they will be listened to
- Relatives and staff have confidence in the manager and in the provider's partnership working
