What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 5 February 2019 · Last inspected 10 December 2018

Inspectors found that staff know the people they support well, anticipate their needs and respond in good time, and that people and their relatives report high levels of satisfaction. Activities are shaped around individual preferences, and people are helped to make choices and to stay in touch with others. Inspectors also identified areas to strengthen, including staff understanding of risk and how the provider follows up on actions it has identified.

Strengths noted
  • Staff know people well and respond to their needs in a timely way.
  • Activities are developed around individual preferences, and technology helps people keep in contact with others.
  • People and relatives report high satisfaction, and people have choice and control while being treated with respect and dignity.
  • Cleanliness, health and safety are well managed, recruitment is safe, and the registered manager uses incident information to reduce future harm.
Areas to improve
  • Staff knowledge of assessing risk needs further development, and inspectors made a recommendation about this.
  • Not all actions identified through checks were completed, so the system for reviewing them needs to be strengthened to ensure proper oversight.
  • The registered manager agreed that more work would help people living with dementia to find their way around the service.
