What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 11 January 2022 · Last inspected 15 November 2021

Inspectors looked at personal care provided to people living in extra care apartments on the edge of Stowmarket in Suffolk, where 28 people were receiving the service on the day of the visit. Care plans were described as detailed and built around each person's history, family, skills and interests, and people were supported to make their own choices as far as possible. Despite staffing pressures during the COVID-19 pandemic, staff were reported to have made sure that all planned visits went ahead.

Strengths noted
  • People said they felt safe, and all staff had safeguarding training and knew how to protect people from harm.
  • Staff were recruited safely and had the training and qualifications needed to support people.
  • Care plans were detailed and person-centred, covering people's background, interests and skills.
  • Systems for monitoring the quality and safety of the service were in place and allowed the provider to oversee it effectively.
Areas to improve
  • Staffing and recruitment were a challenge, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
