What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 26 August 2022 · Last inspected 9 August 2022
Inspectors found the home's day-to-day care to be kind and compassionate, with staff who understood residents' needs and how to manage risks. Risk assessments were described as clear, and medicines management was rated effective. Staffing levels were judged adequate, though at times only one member of staff was present on each unit, and the provider was monitoring this and could increase staffing if needed.
- Staff were described as caring, and residents said they felt safe
- Risk assessments were clear and staff knew the actions they needed to take
- Staff understood how to recognise and report abuse, and incidents were reviewed to spot themes and share lessons
- Staff and the registered manager were praised as approachable, and staff took pride in good outcomes
- Internet connectivity was patchy, particularly further from the centre of the home, and earlier measures to fix it had not worked, so alternatives were still being explored
- Staffing on some units could drop to one member of staff at times, which the provider was monitoring
