What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 25 May 2021 · Last inspected 5 May 2021

Inspectors found that Green Gables, which cares for older people including some living with dementia, was rated requires improvement overall, down from good at its last inspection. People said they felt safe and could raise concerns with management, and inspectors saw staff moving people safely and infection control being followed. Management oversight, safeguarding knowledge, medicines training, incident learning and recruitment records were found to need work.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were observed supporting people appropriately with moving and handling
  • Infection control procedures were robust and followed by staff, with extra support for people isolating on admission
  • Indoor visits for relatives were arranged safely in line with recent guidance
  • People, relatives and staff said they felt able to raise concerns with management, and risk assessments were in place and reviewed regularly
Areas to improve
  • Systems to assess, monitor and improve the service were not always effective, and issues found were not identified by the provider or registered manager
  • Staff knowledge of safeguarding was lacking, and oversight of staff training and competence in managing medicines was insufficient
  • Incident recording and learning, and completion of recruitment records, were not always robust
