What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 13 March 2024 · Last inspected 30 January 2024
Inspectors found that people were generally encouraged to make their own choices, with staff using the least restrictive approach where possible, and that there were enough staff to support people. Feedback about daily life was mixed, though most people said they felt secure living there and with the staff who cared for them. Refurbishment of the building had begun, but oversight of the service was found to be limited.
- Individual risks were identified and recorded, with plans to help staff keep people safe.
- Staffing was judged sufficient to meet people's needs.
- People were encouraged to make their own decisions and keep autonomy over daily life, with restrictions kept to a minimum.
- Building improvements were already under way across the home to address environmental concerns.
- Medication practices fell short on some occasions, and some people were not fully protected from environmental risks while building work continued.
- Care records did not consistently show people's views or goals, and records of repositioning to reduce skin damage were not always accurate.
- Quality monitoring missed problems with records, training, recruitment and medicines, and not all incidents were notified to the regulator.
