What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 9 January 2024 · Last inspected 18 December 2023

Inspectors found that people were supported by a consistent team of staff who knew them well, and that staff were described as kind and caring. People received help with medicines, meals, healthcare appointments and personal care, and their choices, dignity and privacy were respected. Inspectors also noted that people were encouraged to go out and take part in activities.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were recruited appropriately, and there were enough familiar staff to meet people's needs.
  • People's needs were assessed and reviewed regularly, and they received the support they required with eating, drinking and accessing healthcare.
  • Staff were described as kind and caring, and people were encouraged to make their own decisions and to keep their independence.
  • Leaders were visible in the home, staff felt supported by them, and feedback from people, relatives and staff led to action.
Areas to improve
  • Risks were assessed, but action on some environmental issues was not always taken promptly. The registered manager said these would be addressed quickly after the inspection.
  • Work was still ongoing to make sure all staff were fully up to date with mandatory training.
  • Inspectors made a recommendation about how risk is managed in the service.
