What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 27 April 2021 · Last inspected 30 March 2021

Inspectors found that staff interactions were kind and caring, and people said their choices and dignity were respected. Staff reported feeling supported by a new management team, and the report describes improved communication and feedback systems. Some care plans and risk assessments still needed more consistent and accurate recording, and supervision and training for staff were still being put in place.

Strengths noted
  • Inspectors saw warm, compassionate interactions between staff and the people who live there, and the service had received compliments that supported this view.
  • People said staff respected their wishes and helped them stay independent.
  • Medicines were managed safely, people were offered a choice of meals and drinks, and changes to dietary needs were acted on promptly.
  • Staff said the new management team had made them feel supported, and communication with healthcare professionals was described as good.
Areas to improve
  • Care plans and risk assessments needed further work so that people's assessed needs and identified risks were recorded consistently and accurately.
  • Staff supervision had only recently started, and training was still being completed or arranged for some staff.
