What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 15 June 2022 · Last inspected 4 May 2022

Inspectors describe a home that has taken on a new management team and new technology, with relatives and staff reporting that things have improved. A new registered manager is in post and changes to the provider's governance have been made, though inspectors say these are still ongoing. Medicines are given as prescribed, but some records were not always thorough, and it was not always clear whether people had enough to eat and drink.

Strengths noted
  • Staff know how to recognise and report safeguarding concerns and have received the training for it.
  • Accidents and incidents are recorded, and lessons are learned where needed.
  • Infection control is managed effectively.
  • The service is dementia friendly, and the mealtime experience is person centred.
Areas to improve
  • Some medicines records were not always robust, and inspectors made recommendations about how some medicines are managed.
  • It was not always clear that people had received enough to eat and drink, and inspectors made a recommendation about nutrition and hydration.
  • Inspectors made a recommendation about the provider's governance systems, as improvements are still ongoing.
