What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 30 April 2021 · Last inspected 31 March 2021
Inspectors found that people at this home, most of whom live with dementia, receive safe everyday care from trained staff who know their needs and preferences. Relatives described the home as friendly and caring, and said they were kept well informed, including during the recent lockdown. This focused inspection was prompted by concerns about personal care, skin care and health care, but inspectors found no evidence to support them.
- Staff were recruited safely and received induction and role-relevant training, and said they understood how to care for people.
- Risk assessments and management plans helped people stay safe while supporting their independence and control.
- Robust policies and procedures helped protect people, as far as possible, from the risks of Covid-19.
- Relatives said the registered manager was open with them and that they received regular contact from the home during lockdown.
