What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 21 October 2020 · Last inspected 1 October 2020
Inspectors carried out a focused check of medicines management and nursing care needs at this home, which provides care to 46 people aged 65 and over, and found no evidence that people were at risk of harm. Trained staff gave medicines safely, consent and risk documentation was in place for the people reviewed, and recruitment, infection prevention and safeguarding arrangements were found to be working. Staff spoke positively about the registered manager, and people were supported to make their own choices.
- Medicines were given by trained staff and managed safely
- Risk assessments and consent records were in place for the people inspectors looked at, addressing a concern from the previous inspection about bed rails
- Staff were safely recruited, there were enough of them, and systems were in place to reduce infection risk and learn from accidents and incidents
- Staff were positive about the registered manager and confident raising concerns, and quality checks operated at local and regional level
- Protocols for as-and-when-required medicines did not always give staff enough guidance
- The provider failed to comply with a condition of its registration and was issued a fixed penalty, which it paid
