What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 6 November 2019 · Last inspected 17 October 2019
Inspectors found that people felt safe at this care home for older people and people living with dementia, with enough staff to meet their needs and medicines given as prescribed. Relatives and residents described the team as kind, and staff were seen to treat people with care and respect for their privacy. Activities were the main area needing work, as some people said they did not have enough to do during the day.
- Staff were trained to protect adults from abuse, and risks to people were assessed so that avoidable harm could be prevented.
- Care plans were detailed and person-centred, drawing on each person's life history and preferences to give personalised care.
- Staff were described as knowledgeable and well supported by their managers, and regular checks on quality and safety were carried out.
- The provider had resolved the medicines-related breach from the previous inspection, and complaints were investigated and acted upon.
- Some people did not know what food would be available at lunchtime until it was served.
- Some people said they lacked enough activities to keep them occupied throughout the day, and inspectors recommended developing activity provision in the home.
