What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 22 February 2023 · Last inspected 11 January 2023
Inspectors found that medicines handling was still not consistently safe despite some improvements since the last visit, and that oversight systems were not always effective at catching problems. Staff were described as understanding safeguarding and how to raise concerns, and the home was clean and tidy with family and friends able to visit. Staff and people using the service spoke positively about the care and the manager, and the management team responded quickly to inspection feedback.
