What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 13 January 2023 · Last inspected 25 October 2022

Inspectors found the home's everyday safety and risk management needed improvement, with medicines handling and follow-up on accidents and incidents flagged as shortfalls. Staff were described as often stretched for time, though recruitment, safeguarding, infection control and training were found to be in place. Feedback from people, relatives and staff was consistently warm, with a recently appointed registered manager praised for making positive changes.

Strengths noted
  • Feedback from people who use the service and their relatives was consistently positive, and staff were praised
  • People were always treated with kindness, and staff were described as sensitive and responsive
  • Staff were recruited safely and received the training and formal support they needed
  • Safeguarding systems and infection control measures were in place, and people had pleasant dining experiences
Areas to improve
  • People were not always protected from risk, and medicines were not always managed safely
  • Actions to prevent repeat accidents and incidents were not always followed up
  • Governance checks did not always lead to learning or improvement, and care records were not always accurate
