Inspectors describe a home under a new manager who has been introducing many changes that are not yet fully established. Environmental improvements were made and identified issues were fixed promptly during the visit. Staff were found to have uneven skills and knowledge, and recording of incidents, health needs and consent-related practice needed strengthening.

- Medicines are given by staff who have been assessed as competent.
- Environmental changes were made, and problems found during the visit were corrected immediately.
- Staff engagement with some residents was described as appropriate and meaningful.
- Care was not consistently individualised, and some staff lacked the skills, knowledge or training needed for their roles, including in recording and health needs such as hydration.
- Safeguarding and incident records were kept in different places without clear outcomes or lessons learnt, and the provider's action plan lacked timescales.
- Activity and mealtime support was uneven across residents, and two relatives felt the service was not inclusive or kept them informed.
