What inspectors found
CQC: InadequateReport published 16 February 2024 · Last inspected 17 October 2023
Inspectors found that people were not always supported to make choices or live as independently as possible, and that many spent much of their time in their rooms with little interaction beyond care tasks. Activities were limited, and the report describes gaps in governance, oversight and the accuracy of care records, including missing guidance on supporting people who become distressed. The provider had recently taken over, and recently recruited overseas staff were described by people and relatives as caring, though some had limited English that affected communication.
- People and relatives described the staff as caring
- The provider has invested in new furniture and equipment and is redecorating and replacing carpets
- The home is a care service with nursing support, accommodating older and younger people, including those living with dementia or a physical or sensory need
- People were not always supported to have choice and control, and were not always cared for in the least restrictive way
- Care records were contradictory, inaccurate or out of date, with some assessments missing, including for distressed or agitated people
- Provider oversight and governance were not effective, and actions identified were not always followed up
