What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 19 January 2021 · Last inspected 7 December 2020
Inspectors found that staffing levels met people's needs, though a high number of agency staff were on duty on the first day because regular staff were off sick, and records showed care continued. Regular staff who returned later were described as knowledgeable and caring, with people saying they felt safe and listened to. The report also notes that communication with some key stakeholders was sometimes inconsistent.
- Inspectors found enough staff to meet people's needs, and people said staff responded promptly when called.
- Infection prevention and control practice was observed to be good, including safe use of protective equipment, and the home ran regular testing for staff and residents.
- Staff had received safeguarding training and understood how to recognise and report concerns.
- Regular staff were described as caring, knowledgeable about the people they support, and approachable, and the home had systems for gathering feedback from residents and relatives.
- On the first day of the inspection, a high proportion of agency staff were working and some parts of the home were not clean; this had improved by the second day when regular staff returned.
- Inspectors found that communication with key stakeholders was sometimes inconsistent, and they recommended that contingency planning be reviewed and improved.
