What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 21 March 2023 · Last inspected 24 January 2023
Inspectors found that the home, which supports older people including some living with dementia, provides staff with regular training, including specialist dementia training. The report also describes staff not having enough time to spend with people, and personal care and everyday conversations about people's needs sometimes falling short on privacy and dignity. The home's overall rating was requires improvement.
- Staff receive regular training, including specialist training in dementia care.
- People are supported to make their own choices, with staff using the least restrictive approach and acting in people's best interests.
- The service's policies and systems back up this approach to choice and control.
- Medicines management needs to improve, including records that are hard to read, doses that are sometimes late, and missing guidance for medicines given as needed.
- At times there were not enough staff to meet people's needs safely, and emergency evacuation plans were not always in place or kept up to date.
- Staff do not always respect people's privacy and dignity, including through the timing of personal care, care needs being discussed loudly in shared areas, and people being referred to by room number.
