What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 20 February 2023 · Last inspected 19 January 2023
Inspectors found that many staff have worked at the home for years, and that managers are visible and easy to approach. Medicines were given as prescribed and the home was found clean, though relatives' views were mixed, with one saying a family member was settling well and enjoying activities, and another feeling there was not enough to keep them occupied. The report rates the service as requiring improvement, mainly because of gaps in risk management, record-keeping and audits.
- Staff describe the home as a good place to work and say managers are approachable.
- Medicines were given as prescribed, and no gaps were found in the paper administration records.
- The home was clean with no unpleasant odours, and inspectors were mostly assured about infection prevention.
- Visiting healthcare professionals said staff raise concerns with them in a timely way.
- A person living with dementia left the home unnoticed by staff on two occasions, and the provider did not notify CQC as required.
- Some risks were not always identified or reviewed, including a fire caused by an electric heater, and pressure-relieving mattress settings were not always correct, with no system for recording checks.
- Medicines storage and recording were not fully safe, and audits had not identified these problems.
