What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 26 July 2023 · Last inspected 10 May 2023
Inspectors found that people were supported to make their own choices, with restrictions kept to what was necessary, and that staffing levels, staff training and recruitment checks were adequate. The home was found clean, and staff were seen to wear protective equipment correctly. However, medicines handling and the audits meant to oversee it were not effective enough, and the service remains rated requires improvement.
- Staff support people to make decisions about their lives and act in people's best interests.
- Staffing levels and staff training were judged sufficient to meet people's needs and provide safe care.
- The manager gathers feedback from people and staff and has acted on findings from other internal checks to improve care.
- Risks to people are identified and planned for, and the home is clean with protective equipment used correctly.
- Medicines were not always managed safely.
- Medicines audits did not pick up repeated problems, and a concern raised at the previous inspection has not been resolved.
- The provider remains in breach of regulations, and the service has been rated requires improvement at its last three inspections.
