What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 4 May 2022 · Last inspected 23 March 2022

Inspectors found that people using the home felt secure, that there were enough staff to support them, and that staff were well supervised and trained. People valued the meals and the chef's knowledge of their diets, and the registered manager was described as open and approachable. Inspectors also found that the home's rating moved from good to requires improvement, mainly because of safety, record-keeping and oversight concerns.

Strengths noted
  • People reported feeling safe, and staffing levels were judged sufficient to meet their needs safely.
  • Staff were recruited after thorough checks and had completed their mandatory training and supervision.
  • Residents liked the food, and the chef was knowledgeable about individual diets and preferences.
  • The registered manager was seen as honest and transparent, and staff said they felt supported and able to raise concerns.
Areas to improve
  • Some people did not have risk assessments in place to help keep them safe, and some fire doors and smoke seals were not working properly.
  • Care records did not always show people's assessed needs clearly, and people were not always supported with choice, control or the least restrictive approach.
  • Incidents and accidents were not routinely reviewed for patterns, and a medication was not given correctly on one occasion.
