What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 16 April 2020 · Last inspected 28 January 2020
Inspectors found enough suitably recruited staff, who worked well together to meet people's care needs. People were reported as happy with their care, feeling safe, and being treated kindly and with respect. Improvements were needed in how pressure-prevention equipment was used and how one person's weight loss was responded to, and the manager acted on both quickly.
- Staff understood how to recognise and report possible harm and felt confident that leaders would act on concerns.
- Staff were described as kind, considerate and respectful, and people were supported to make choices in the least restrictive way.
- Staff received induction, ongoing training and support, and care plans reflected people's preferences.
- Activities and social opportunities were available, and people's end-of-life wishes were recorded.
- Equipment intended to help people at risk of developing pressure ulcers was not always being used correctly.
- For one person who had experienced weight loss, not all appropriate steps were being taken.
