What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 13 March 2023 · Last inspected 10 January 2023
Inspectors found that people felt safe and comfortable, that staff responded quickly when help was needed, and that mealtimes were well supported. Fire safety had improved since the previous visit, but medicines records, staff training, bathroom conditions and bathing opportunities still need attention, and the provider's quality assurance was judged not to be effective.
- Fire risks are better managed than at the last visit, with repaired door release systems, extra fire doors and individual evacuation plans.
- Mealtimes are well supported, and kitchen staff understand people's needs and preferences.
- Staff are described as responsive, and relatives and visiting professionals spoke positively about the service.
- Recruitment practices are safe, staffing is sufficient, and the roles of the managers are now clearly defined.
- Medicines systems and records need improvement, including a delay in replacing a prescribed cream, missing notes on how well as-required medicines work, and no record of where patches are applied.
- Staff training has not been kept up to date, some newer staff have not completed the care certificate, and care plans lack clear guidance on individual needs.
- Both bathrooms were cold, one has no heating, and people have not been regularly offered baths or showers in line with their needs.
