What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 31 January 2022 · Last inspected 19 January 2022

Inspectors rated Laureate Court good following a first inspection after registration. They found people felt safe, staff were described as kind and caring, and needs such as nutrition, hydration and medicines were managed well, with enough staff available. Management was praised by people and relatives, though oversight and auditing were still developing.

Strengths noted
  • Risks to people's care were identified and mitigated, and accidents and incidents were analysed for patterns.
  • Staff were knowledgeable about safeguarding and the home's staffing levels were judged sufficient to meet needs.
  • Inspectors observed staff being kind, caring and compassionate, and people's physical and emotional needs were met.
  • The registered manager was praised by people and relatives, and quick action was taken to address concerns raised during the inspection.
Areas to improve
  • Quality monitoring systems needed further development, as audits did not always identify issues found on inspection.
  • Best interest decision-making processes needed to be brought in line with current guidance.
  • The environment for people living with dementia, including signage and decoration, could better support their independence, and parts of the recently refurbished home needed completing.
