What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 25 May 2023 · Last inspected 27 April 2023
Inspectors found that the home's everyday care was viewed positively: people and relatives described kind, friendly staff who knew them well, clear medicines processes, good access to healthcare and referrals when needs changed, and opportunities to take part in social activities and plan their care. Governance and quality oversight were not always effective, with some environmental risks and maintenance gaps affecting infection control, inaccurate or incomplete care records, and lunchtime staffing that did not consistently support people. The provider and manager responded quickly to some of the issues raised during the visit.
