What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 1 April 2020 · Last inspected 2 March 2020
Inspectors found that people receiving support in their own flats generally felt safe, and that care plans and risk assessments gave staff clear guidance, with people and families involved in identifying risks. Staff were described as knowing people well, building friendly relationships, respecting privacy and encouraging independence. The report notes that staffing numbers were uneven at times and that some systems, including medicines records, recruitment and quality monitoring, needed to be strengthened.
- Care plans and risk assessments give staff clear direction, and people and their families take part in identifying risks and how to manage them.
- Staff understand how to protect people from harm and can recognise possible signs of abuse.
- Staff receive induction training that prepares them for their roles, and people's nutrition, hydration and access to healthcare are supported well.
- People are supported to make their own choices, with staff acting in the least restrictive way and in people's best interests, and leaders and managers were praised.
- Staffing levels have been inconsistent, although staff schedules were reviewed during the inspection to balance deployment across the service.
- Some medicines records had gaps in dosage information, which the registered manager was following up.
- The recruitment system needed further action to be fully robust, and quality assurance processes need to be made more robust.
