What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 11 August 2022 · Last inspected 27 June 2022
Inspectors found that staff treated people with warmth and courtesy, and that the home was clean and pleasant on the day of the visit. People and relatives spoke positively about the service, and staff said they enjoyed working there and found the manager supportive. The report, however, identifies serious shortfalls in how risks and medicines were managed, which led to breaches of regulations.
- Inspectors observed staff being warm, attentive and respectful toward people.
- The home was clean and comfortable on the day of inspection.
- Staff recruitment and staffing levels were judged to be safe.
- Accidents, incidents and safeguarding matters were recorded, investigated and reported appropriately.
- Information about people's medical conditions and risks was insufficient, leaving staff without clear guidance on symptoms and the actions to take.
- Medication management was unsafe, with some medicines unaccounted for and gaps in guidance for as-needed and timed medicines.
- Care records did not show that people received the support they needed to manage risks, and systems for monitoring quality and safety were ineffective.
