What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 15 January 2024 · Last inspected 14 December 2023
Inspectors saw warm, caring interactions between staff and the people who live at the home, and found that staff understood each person's needs and responded to them. People and their relatives were involved in decisions about their care, and people were supported to see healthcare professionals to look after their health. The report also describes a positive culture, but inspectors found shortfalls in how the service was monitored and in how some decisions about people's choices and support were made.
- Staff were described as warm and caring, and inspectors observed kind interactions between staff and people.
- Staff had a good understanding of each person's needs and responded to them.
- People and their relatives had a say in care planning and decisions.
- People said they felt safe, and staff had been recruited safely and trained to recognise and report abuse.
- Medicine management did not always follow current best practice guidance.
- Some people's choice, control and independence were restricted, and best interest decisions did not always follow the Mental Capacity Act principles or the least restrictive approach.
- Quality monitoring was not effective enough to identify and address the problems inspectors found, and not all accidents, incidents or safeguarding concerns had been reviewed for patterns or lessons learnt.
