What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 27 February 2020 · Last inspected 30 January 2020
Inspectors found that the home had acted on earlier concerns, with safer medicines handling, better documented support for healthy eating, and more personalised care plans that reflect people's preferences and life histories. People told inspectors that staff were kind and caring, and the report describes enough staff, regular supervision and training, and an activities programme to reduce isolation.
- Medicines are now managed as prescribed under an updated policy and procedure
- Care plans are more personalised and include people's preferences and life histories
- People said staff are kind and caring, which inspectors saw for themselves
- A quality assurance system now checks all areas of the service and acts on shortfalls
