What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 22 November 2022 · Last inspected 25 October 2022

Inspectors found the home, which supports older people and people living with dementia, to be clean and well maintained, with enough staff to meet residents' needs. Safeguarding was judged robust, and people were supported to make their own choices, with the least intrusive approach used where needed. The registered manager was described as open and transparent, and the service worked well with a range of other professionals.

Strengths noted
  • The home was clean and well maintained
  • Safeguarding processes protected people from the risk of abuse
  • People were supported to make choices and keep control of their lives
  • The registered manager was open, transparent and engaged with the inspection
Areas to improve
  • Some medicines records were incomplete, and medicine disposal did not always follow recommended guidance
  • Risk assessments and care records were not always updated when people's needs changed
  • Increased use of agency staff affected person-centred care, and some staff and relatives felt communication with management was not effective
