What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 14 August 2023 · Last inspected 20 July 2023
Inspectors found that everyday care at this home for older people, some living with dementia, was person-centred, with risks managed well and enough suitably skilled staff on duty. Staff were supported through supervision and appraisal and were described as proud of the service, and people had a say in daily life. The overall rating dropped to requires improvement because oversight systems were not always reliable and learning from incidents was limited.
- Risks to people's safety were managed in a person-centred way.
- Staffing levels and skill mix were adequate, staff had regular supervision and appraisals, and recruitment checks were sound.
- Medicines were handled safely from storage through to disposal, and infection control followed national guidance.
- Mealtimes were pleasant and the food was well presented, with people involved in planning menus and positive feedback from people and relatives.
- Governance systems were not always reliable or effective.
- There was limited evidence that lessons had been learnt to improve the service.
- Safeguarding incidents were not always handled consistently, and the report makes a recommendation about reporting and acting on them.
