What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 19 December 2023 · Last inspected 17 November 2023

St Catherine's Care Centre, a care home with nursing for up to 34 people, was inspected in November 2023 after professionals raised concerns. Inspectors found that people generally felt cared for by kind staff, but also found gaps in staffing, risk management, medicines and cleanliness. The overall rating moved from good to requires improvement.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as kind and caring, and relatives said they understood their family members' needs.
  • People were supported to make their own choices, with staff working in the least restrictive way possible.
  • Staff used recognised tools to spot when a person's health was getting worse and referred them to healthcare professionals when needed.
  • Staff were recruited safely and understood their role in protecting people from abuse.
Areas to improve
  • There were not always enough staff, so some people waited a significant time for care they needed, according to people, relatives and call bell records.
  • Risks were not always managed well: weight loss went unaddressed, repositioning for people at risk of pressure damage was not always recorded, and some medicines guidance was unclear.
  • Quality checks were not effective at spotting problems, and some relatives and staff felt their views were not listened to or acted on, including concerns they raised.
