What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 25 February 2020 · Last inspected 13 August 2019

Inspectors found staff to be caring and compassionate, often going further than expected to support people, and described a busy, positive and person-centred atmosphere. The purpose-built home has a calm, spacious dementia unit, well-furnished communal areas and a range of facilities, and staff said they felt well supported by an accessible management team. Inspectors also raised concerns about medicines management and, at times, about how some communication supported people's wellbeing, and the report notes that management acted immediately on both.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as caring and compassionate, and many went beyond what would normally be expected to support people.
  • The purpose-built environment, including a dementia unit that had received external accreditation, was calm, clean, spacious and well furnished.
  • Meals were of high quality and could be served in a restaurant style or a more homely way, and people could help themselves to drinks and snacks throughout the day.
  • Staff said they were well supported by management, and the report found that care plans reflected people's needs and were followed in practice.
Areas to improve
  • Some medicines practice did not follow the service's own policy, a thickening agent prescribed for one person was used for another, and some medicines were not clearly reviewed for how well they worked.
  • At times, the way some people were communicated with did not always support their wellbeing; management took immediate action once this was raised.
  • Some care plan documentation needed minor clarification or updating.
