What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 29 September 2022 · Last inspected 8 September 2022

Inspectors found that residents and relatives were happy with the care, and that the home was clean and tidy with good infection control. Staff were described as sufficiently numerous and supported, and the atmosphere was positive. Risk management, record-keeping and quality checks were still not consistently effective.

Strengths noted
  • People and relatives reported being happy with the care and service they received.
  • The home was clean and tidy, and infection prevention procedures were followed.
  • Fire safety improved and people were protected from the risk of abuse.
  • Staff were sufficient in number and felt well supported, with a positive culture and resident involvement.
Areas to improve
  • Risks were not always well managed, and risk assessments were not always completed accurately.
  • Some important records were incomplete, so actions to reduce harm could not always be confirmed.
  • Medicines stock discrepancies meant people's prescribed medicines could not always be assured.
