What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 7 June 2023 · Last inspected 13 April 2023
Inspectors found that people living in this home, some of whom may have dementia, said they were content and felt safe. Recruitment was safe, staffing levels met people's needs, and people's end-of-life wishes had been discussed and recorded. Care was broadly tailored to individuals' preferences, though the report raises concerns about documentation and medicines.
- People said they were happy living there and felt safe.
- Staff supported people's choices and acted in their best interests, and the home's policies backed this approach.
- Accidents and incidents were reviewed for patterns, and steps were taken to reduce the chance of repeats.
- Complaints were recorded and investigated, and people felt confident their concerns would be handled.
- Some care plans lacked precise, correct detail, making it harder for staff to support people reliably and safely.
- Medicines were not managed safely, and guidance on when to give as-needed medicines was inaccurate and not tailored to each person.
- Assessments of people's mental capacity were not completed accurately, and staff needed a better understanding of how capacity can change over time.
