What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 1 August 2023 · Last inspected 13 June 2023
Inspectors visited Lavender Lodge, a care home for up to 20 older people, including those living with dementia, and rated it requires improvement, the same rating as its last three inspections. The report describes staff as knowing people well and says there were enough staff to meet needs promptly, with people supported to eat well and reach healthcare when needed. Inspectors also found gaps in medicines storage, risk management, personalised care planning, and the quality of audits.
- People felt safe living at the home.
- Consent to care followed the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and people were supported to make their own choices.
- Sufficient staff were on duty to meet people's needs promptly.
- People were supported to have a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle, with access to healthcare professionals when required.
- Some prescribed medicines were not always stored within recommended temperature limits.
- Risks to people were not always managed well enough to prevent harm, and care was often task-based rather than personalised.
- The premises had not been adapted to be dementia-friendly, and auditing systems were not robust enough to identify the issues found.
