What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 27 January 2023 · Last inspected 10 November 2022
Inspectors found that people and relatives considered staff kind and helpful, and that staff anticipated the needs of people who could not easily ask for support. However, staffing levels sometimes meant people waited for help and risks to their safety were not always watched closely. The home was rated as requires improvement.
- Staff were described as warm and attentive, and inspectors saw them reassuring people who were confused or upset.
- Medicines were handled safely, and the required checks were carried out when new staff were recruited.
- Staff had completed safeguarding training and knew what to do if someone was at risk of harm.
- Health needs were met, with timely referrals to specialist services, and end of life care was provided well.
- Staffing levels were not always sufficient to meet people's needs or to monitor their safety.
- Some areas of the home had unpleasant smells, and some relatives and staff were worried about cleanliness.
- Infection control and hygiene audits were not always carried out often enough, and identified problems were not always fixed promptly.
