What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 21 February 2024 · Last inspected 11 December 2023

Inspectors found that staff know people's care needs well, that there are enough staff to support people, and that care calls are often made by the same staff so they can get to know each person. People and relatives said they know how to raise concerns and feel listened to, and people are supported to make choices in the least restrictive way. The report rates the service as requires improvement and says the provider remains in breach of regulations, although improvements have been made since the last inspection.

Strengths noted
  • A written policy against physical restraint is now in place, addressing concerns from the previous inspection.
  • Staff are described as knowledgeable about the care needs of the people they support.
  • Recording, investigating and learning from complaints has improved, and people and relatives feel more confident that their concerns will be addressed.
  • People who cannot read their care plans can have them read aloud to them.
Areas to improve
  • One incident was not recognised as needing a safeguarding alert to the local authority, so systems for identifying safeguarding concerns still need to be strengthened.
  • Some care files do not give staff enough detailed guidance on supporting people with specific needs, and some risk assessments lack sufficient guidance for staff; improvement of care files is still in progress.
  • Records of people's cultural needs vary considerably in how much detail they contain.
