What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 23 August 2021 · Last inspected 3 August 2021
Inspectors found that people were relaxed with staff and comfortable asking them for help, and that staff spent time chatting with people as they moved around the home. Relatives said they were happy with the care, and the premises were judged clean and free of unpleasant smells. The staff team was described as stable and working well together, with management seen as approachable and willing to listen to concerns and ideas.
- People said the food was good, and one person spoke positively about it.
- Care plans were individualised and detailed most people's needs, and risk assessments gave staff clear guidance to support people safely.
- Medicines were received, stored and given as prescribed, with regular audits in place to identify errors promptly.
- There were enough staff to meet people's needs, and staff said they received appropriate support and training.
- Care plans did not always record when people preferred to get up or go to bed, so inspectors could not confirm that early rising was always a person's own choice.
- Staff could not monitor the highest and lowest temperatures of the medicine refrigerator; the provider addressed this during the inspection.
- People and relatives had not recently been asked for their views on the service because of the pandemic, and a survey was planned.
