What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 22 January 2020 · Last inspected 9 December 2019
Inspectors found that staff know the people they support well, treat them kindly and respect their choices, and that people feel safe with the regular staff who care for them. The home had been through a period of unsettled leadership, and the newer senior team was seen as a positive influence, though inspectors could not yet judge whether its approach would last. People enjoyed their food, were supported to keep in touch with family, and could follow their own routines, though some were unsettled when unfamiliar staff were on duty.
- Staff know people well and are described as kind and compassionate.
- People feel safe, and staff understand their responsibilities for protecting people from abuse.
- Staffing was increased, inspectors judged numbers adequate to meet people's needs, and recruitment filled vacant posts.
- People enjoy their meals and are supported to eat and drink safely.
- Leadership changes have left some staff uncertain about expectations, although the senior team has a plan to address this.
- High turnover of nurses has had an impact on people's treatment.
- Some care records are inaccurate or inconsistent, which makes it hard to review care effectively.
