What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 24 May 2022 · Last inspected 28 April 2022

Inspectors found that the service gave people personalised support tied to their needs and interests in their local area, with enough staff, sound risk awareness and safe medicines handling. However, the report says people were not always supported to make choices and control their lives, and that decisions made in people's best interests and a required legal application around restricting liberty had not been completed. Inspectors also concluded that the provider's quality monitoring had not caught gaps in staff training and in person-centred care planning.

Strengths noted
  • Care and support were personalised to each person's needs and preferences, and people were helped to take part in local activities.
  • Enough staff were on duty to provide the support people needed, and staff understood the risks relevant to the people they support.
  • Medicines were handled safely and given when people needed them.
  • A relative described good relationships with staff and the registered manager, and said the provider welcomes feedback and works to improve.
Areas to improve
  • People were not always supported to have choice and control over their lives.
  • Best interest decisions were not made for restrictions on a person's liberty, and a required Court of Protection application had not been made.
  • Quality monitoring did not identify shortfalls in staff training linked to people's needs, or in person-centred care planning.
