What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 14 October 2019 · Last inspected 10 September 2019
Inspectors described staff as caring and kind, encouraging people to take part in their own care and supporting them in the ways they preferred, with care plans detailing individual routines. The service was rated Requires Improvement, mainly because medicines recording and risk plans were not always adequate and policies did not fully support people's choice and control. Inspectors found the service well led, with the manager seeking feedback and quality checks in place.
- Medicines were given safely in practice, and risks to the person supported were identified and recorded.
