What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 27 March 2023 · Last inspected 15 March 2023
Inspectors described a positive culture in which staff appeared to enjoy their roles, and people and relatives were happy with the management and staff team. Care was described as kind, respectful of privacy and dignity, and focused on people's choices and independence, with people feeling safe and their medicines, food and infection control handled well. The provider had addressed the breaches of regulation found at the previous inspection, but the report says the management team still needs to keep improving some areas.
- Staff were described as kind and caring, and people spoke positively about the support they received.
- People were supported to make day-to-day choices and were involved in discussions about their care.
- Medicines were managed safely, and the service was described as clean, with good infection control procedures.
- There were enough staff to support people safely, and staff had the training and supervision they needed.
- The management team acknowledged that individualised, person-centred care was not always fully reflected in people's support and care plans.
- Further work is needed in some areas to keep sustaining the improvements made since the last inspection.
