What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 12 September 2022 · Last inspected 4 August 2022
Inspectors found that people were happy with their day-to-day care and felt safe, and relatives shared that view. Staff were described as attentive and knowledgeable about people's needs, with enough of them on duty and support from managers. The main area for improvement was recording when external creams were opened.
- Medicines were handled safely and given as prescribed.
- People and their relatives spoke warmly about the care and felt secure living there.
- Staffing levels met people's needs, and checks were carried out before new staff began work.
- Managers oversaw training and supervision, and staff said they felt supported by leaders.
- Staff did not record when external creams were opened, which makes it harder to confirm they are still in date and safe to use. Inspectors made a recommendation about this.
