What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 1 August 2022 · Last inspected 13 June 2022

Inspectors found that some time-sensitive medicines lacked adequate records and that risk monitoring was not always backed by sufficient documentation, and the provider's own checks had missed these gaps. Care was described as person-centred in places, with people supported to make choices and given food they enjoyed, though expired authorisations for restricted care needed renewal and some practices were seen to affect dignity. The newly appointed manager was described as approachable and open, and the service has begun to introduce a new system for managing these authorisations.

Strengths noted
  • Staff are trained in safeguarding and have learned from incidents to reduce repeat risks
  • Recruitment checks are carried out safely and the provider is working to reduce agency use
  • Infection prevention and control measures were found to be effective
  • The manager is described as approachable, open and transparent, and staff feel supported
Areas to improve
  • Records for time-sensitive medicines were incomplete, so inspectors were not assured people always received medicines as prescribed
  • Some risks to people were not monitored effectively due to missing and inconsistent records
  • Some practices were observed that compromised people's dignity
