What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 13 April 2023 · Last inspected 21 March 2023
Inspectors found that people's needs were assessed and that the service worked well with outside professionals. Feedback about the service, staff and management was positive, and people were supported to make choices and keep control of their lives, with the least restrictive approach used where needed. The report focused on the safe and well-led areas, so it says little about day-to-day activities or atmosphere.
- Staff had safeguarding training and knew what to do if they were worried about someone's safety.
- Medicines were managed safely, and the service had safe recruitment processes.
- Management had oversight of the service and showed a commitment to ongoing improvement, and the service had acted on areas needing work.
- Staff worked effectively in partnership with external professionals.
- Some environmental risks had not always been managed. The registered manager addressed these after the inspection.
- Risk assessments for high-risk medicines were not in place at the time of the inspection.
