What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 22 May 2023 · Last inspected 24 April 2023

Inspectors found that the home has taken steps since its last inspection, including recruiting a regional manager to support the management team and reviewing its monitoring systems, which inspectors say still need to become embedded in practice. Medicines were given as prescribed by trained staff, staff were recruited safely, and there were enough staff to meet people's needs. Infection control and the home's decoration had also improved.

Strengths noted
  • Medicines are given as prescribed by staff who are trained and competent to administer them safely
  • Staff were recruited safely and there are enough of them to meet people's needs in a timely way
  • Infection control and prevention improved, and the decoration of the home has visibly improved
  • Risks to people's care have been identified and actions taken to reduce them, and people are supported to have choice and control
Areas to improve
  • Monitoring and improvement systems were reviewed but still need to be embedded in practice to prove they work
