What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 28 July 2022 · Last inspected 28 June 2022

Inspectors found that 32 South Street, a residential home for up to 20 people with mental health support needs, provides good everyday care. Staff were described as safeguarding people well, supporting choice and control, and working with other agencies and healthcare professionals to keep care continuous. The atmosphere was described as person-centred, with people and staff involved in decisions about the service.

Strengths noted
  • Risks to people's health and wellbeing are planned for, reviewed regularly, and kept under control.
  • Medicines are given as prescribers intend, and staff are assessed as competent to give them.
  • Safe recruitment and enough staff on duty to meet people's care and social needs.
  • People and staff feel listened to, and the registered manager is seen as approachable.
Areas to improve
  • The provider had not carried out an audit of the service for over a year, so its oversight was weaker than it should be; a recommendation was made on this.
  • The medicines audit did not assess medicines comprehensively, although a new audit was due to be introduced.
  • Some bathroom floors needed replacing, even though the service had recently been redecorated.
