What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 20 December 2019 · Last inspected 31 October 2019
Inspectors found that people living in their own flats received respectful, dignified personal care from staff they liked, with their independence and privacy supported. Staff were trained, supervised and understood infection control, and people's choices were respected. However, the report found that the provider's checks on quality and safety were applied inconsistently, which led to the overall rating of requires improvement.
- People described staff as caring and respectful, and personal care was delivered in a dignified way.
- People's independence was encouraged, their privacy was respected, and they were supported to make their own choices.
- People told inspectors they received their medicines safely, and staff punctuality had improved since the new provider took over.
- Care records were person-centred, information was provided in formats people could understand, and people felt confident their complaints would be acted on.
- Quality assurance was not consistently carried out, so some risks to people's safety were not identified or acted on, and there were too few provider-led audits to hold the registered manager and staff to account.
- Care planning and risk assessments did not consistently use current best practice guidance and legislation, although risks were recorded in most cases.
- Records were not always signed by legally appointed decision-makers, and guidance on meal support for one person was conflicting.
