What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 27 September 2023 · Last inspected 15 August 2023
Inspectors found that care plans have become more specific and tailored to each person, and that people are supported to make their own choices, with restrictions kept to a minimum. Staff understand how to protect people from harm, follow safe hygiene practices, and the home has enough safely recruited staff. The management team was described as open about the areas that still need work.
- Improvements have been made since the last inspection in the home's governance, its environment and the overall management of people's medicines.
- Risks linked to people's care have been reviewed, and the guidance given to staff has improved.
- The provider and the new nominated individual have increased their oversight, with the nominated individual present at the home daily.
- Systems are in place to learn from accidents, incidents and when things go wrong.
- The systems used to monitor medicines still need further improvement.
- The provider's governance systems are better but do not always identify concerns, so they still require improvement and the breach in this area continues.
- The improvements need more time to become fully effective, embedded in staff practice and sustained.
