What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 6 September 2022 · Last inspected 19 August 2022
Inspectors found staff who were caring and compassionate, and who respected people's preferences, privacy and dignity during personal care. Support was described as person-centred, with people and relatives taking part in how the service is run. Staff were trained and supported by a range of health professionals, and the service made changes when learning showed they were needed.
- Staff were described as empathetic and kind, and they took people's likes, dislikes and wishes into account.
- Medicines were stored, given and recorded safely, and staff encouraged people to manage their own medicines where possible.
- Staff received thorough training and were supported by a wide mix of health professionals who kept practice up to date.
- A visible person-centred culture was evident, and people, relatives and staff took part in how the service is run.
- Guidance for 'when required' medicines was not consistently available at The Manor, and hand-written entries often lacked an authorising or witness signature, so inspectors made a recommendation.
