What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 5 March 2019 · Last inspected 22 January 2019
Inspectors found that staff are kind and caring, and that people using the home and their relatives feel looked after and able to share their views. People are treated with dignity, given as much choice as possible, and supported in the least restrictive way. The home was rated good overall, and its environment, activities and links with health services were also described positively.
- Safeguarding procedures and risk checks are robust, and staff protect people's rights while keeping restrictions to a minimum.
- Staffing levels allow care to be delivered on time, and recruitment checks and staff training are in place.
- Activities reflect people's interests, the building has been adapted to meet needs, and staff work well with outside professionals to meet health needs.
- Handwritten changes to some medicines records were not always made and signed by two staff members, and the report recommends addressing this.
- Some care plans, daily records and risk assessments need more person-centred detail so staff have what they need to respond to people.
- Feedback on meals is mixed, and the menus were still under review to better reflect people's choices.
