What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 9 January 2020 · Last inspected 13 December 2019
Inspectors found that this home, which supports 17 older people, provides caring and respectful support in a suitable building. Staffing was judged sufficient, and staff receive training and supervision, with care plans developed with people and their families. Inspectors raised one concern, about medicine records for some prescribed creams not always being fully completed.
- Staff were described as kind and caring, and inspectors saw that they understood how to protect people's privacy, dignity and independence.
- Enough staff were on duty to meet people's needs, supported by robust recruitment checks and risk assessments that guided safe care.
- People could choose what they ate and drank and had access to social and leisure activities, which inspectors saw them enjoying.
- Staff received training and supervision, and the service worked with other agencies and health professionals to meet people's health needs.
- Staff did not always record on the medicine administration record when prescribed medicated creams had been given, and inspectors have made a recommendation about this.
