What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 14 July 2023 · Last inspected 20 June 2023
Inspectors found that medicines handling had improved, with staff trained and their competence checked regularly. People and their relatives described staff as kind and caring, and said the service felt safe and the meals were well regarded. Staff had time to spend with people and were supported through training and supervision.
- Medicines are given as prescribed, and staff are trained and regularly assessed on giving them.
- Staff are recruited safely, there are enough of them to meet people's needs, and they have time to sit with people without seeming hurried.
- People and relatives describe staff as kind and caring, and meals are praised, with a choice on offer and hot food served promptly.
- Quality monitoring and a service improvement plan help identify and track areas for improvement, and the service is no longer rated inadequate.
- Some risk management plans do not consider every factor affecting risk, such as the effect of prescribed medicines on mobility in falls assessments, and some plans are generic rather than personalised.
- Some monitoring records were completed before care was delivered; the provider says this was a recording error and that staff will receive further training.
- Inspectors found limited evidence that people, particularly those living with dementia, are involved in planning their own care, and a recommendation has been made on this.
