What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 28 April 2021 · Last inspected 17 March 2021

Inspectors found that people living at this care home, some of whom may have dementia, feel safe and are central to how the service runs. Staff are described as caring and motivated, receive regular support, and are trained to recognise, prevent and report abuse. Meals are varied, offer choice, and people are supported to make their own decisions in ways that limit restrictions where possible.

Strengths noted
  • Staff have been trained in safeguarding and know how to spot, prevent and report abuse.
  • Risks to people are managed through individual risk assessments, and there are plans for emergencies and regular fire safety checks.
  • Staffing levels are sufficient to keep people safe, and recruitment checks are completed before new staff start.
  • People are offered varied, fresh food and drink with choice, and staff are described as motivated, putting people first and feeling valued by management.
Areas to improve
  • Improvements to systems for monitoring the quality and safety of the service had been made, but inspectors said these still needed to be fully embedded in daily practice so people are consistently kept safe from harm.
  • One staff member's recruitment records did not contain a full employment history; this was addressed during the inspection.
