What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 4 April 2023 · Last inspected 1 March 2023

Some people said they did not always have visits from staff they knew, and changes were not always communicated promptly. The overall rating remains requires improvement, although inspectors noted progress since the last inspection and found the provider no longer in breach of regulations.

Strengths noted
  • People described the care they receive, and the staff who provide it, in positive terms.

Areas to improve

  • Audit processes needed strengthening, formal feedback routes for people and relatives needed expanding, and many staff reported poor communication within the service.
