What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 13 July 2023 · Last inspected 25 May 2023

Inspectors found that people's care needs were assessed and recorded carefully, and that staff were kind, respectful and knew the people they supported well. The registered manager was described as having a good overview of the service, and people and their families felt confident that concerns would be acted on. The report identified shortfalls in how medicines were managed and recorded.

Strengths noted
  • Care needs and support requirements were assessed and recorded carefully, with support managed to meet them.
  • Staff were described as kind and respectful, treating people with dignity and motivating them to achieve what they are able to.
  • Safe recruitment checks and staff development systems were in place, and there were enough familiar staff to meet people's needs.
  • Working relationships with health professionals and families were well established, and people were supported to make their own choices using the least restrictive approach.
Areas to improve
  • Some records about how people's medicines were managed were not always clear, and the report identifies breaches of regulation in this area.
  • The provider's quality monitoring and governance systems did not always identify gaps in care records or in how the service was managed, and these need to improve.
  • The provider is expected to submit an action plan on medicines management, which inspectors will follow up with the provider and local authority.
