What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 11 April 2023 · Last inspected 14 March 2023
Inspectors found that the home has a number of audits and quality checks in place, but it lacks a clear provider-level strategy and an operational plan to keep care records accurate and complete. Medicines were reported as handled safely, though audits did not cover medicines management fully, and risk assessments and support plans were not always kept up to date.
- The home is well maintained, clean and has a large garden with outdoor seating areas.
- Staff had good access to personal protective equipment and followed guidance on infection prevention and control.
- People said they felt safe, were happy with their care, and had access to a range of health professionals when needed.
- Enough suitably trained staff were employed, and the manager was aware of the improvements required.
- Risk assessments and support plans were not always current or completed, which put people at risk of avoidable harm.
- Systems for recording, managing and reporting concerns about risks, safety and incidents were used in a limited way.
- Provider oversight and governance checks were found to be insufficient, and the report identifies breaches relating to management of the service.
