What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 9 August 2023 · Last inspected 30 May 2023
Inspectors found that care plans include people's life histories, wishes and preferences, which helps staff tailor support, and that people can take part in a range of activities. Staff are described as trained, supervised and supported, and people said they felt safe. The service is rated requires improvement, mainly because of concerns about risk management, medicines records and oversight.
- Care plans record life histories, wishes and preferences, helping staff personalise support for each person.
- People can join a range of activities and feel able to raise concerns with the service.
- Staff receive training, supervision and support, and are trained to recognise and report signs of abuse.
- The service followed good infection control practice, and the registered manager was open and transparent during the inspection.
- Risks to people were not always managed, as care records did not consistently show staff acting on care plans in a timely way.
- Records did not show what support staff gave when people became distressed before anti-psychotic medicines were administered, and medicine records did not always show doses were given as prescribed.
- Audits and checks did not identify the problems found with records, staff responses and medicines, and newly introduced procedures still need time to become embedded.
