What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 12 October 2022 · Last inspected 24 August 2022
Inspectors observed warm, respectful interactions between staff and people, and found that people could make choices about their days and take part in regular activities. People reported feeling secure, and care plans were tailored to individual needs. However, the report found shortfalls in medicines handling, risk management, consent processes and quality oversight, and noted that parts of the older building need refurbishment.
- Staff were described as considerate and pleasant, and inspectors saw many positive exchanges in which staff showed they cared about people.
- People reported feeling secure, and the provider had safeguarding procedures that gave staff clear steps to follow if they suspected abuse.
- Care and support plans were personalised, and staff knew people well enough to respond to their individual needs.
- Relatives felt confident raising concerns with the leadership team, and the provider was open and transparent when things went wrong.
- Medicines were not always managed safely, and the report says improvements are needed in this area.
- Systems for monitoring quality and safety were not consistently identifying and resolving problems across the service.
- Some records needed to support safe recruitment were not in place.
