What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 28 March 2023 · Last inspected 20 March 2023
Inspectors found that staffing numbers were adequate, that staff understood how to protect people from abuse, and that medicines were handled safely. Relatives said they felt warmly welcomed on visits, and people were supported to make their own choices, with care plans that inspectors described as detailed. The report also notes that the service is run well and that the manager is approachable.
- Staffing levels were sufficient, and staff knew how to recognise and respond to possible abuse.
- Staff assessed risks and took steps to reduce them, and the premises and equipment were checked and kept in good order.
- People were supported to take their medicines safely and in line with their prescriptions.
- Care plans were detailed and reflected people's needs, and people had access to activities and social opportunities.

- The evening provision of drinks and snacks was to be reviewed to make sure people could access them and that take-up was recorded.
