Systems for governance, learning and development, and information sharing have improved since the last inspection.

- Medicines were given by trained, competent staff, and errors were reviewed and addressed by the provider
- The provider developed clearer governance, oversight of risk and an improvement plan drawing on feedback and complaints
- The provider worked with partner agencies and local groups during the pandemic and shared information across the local care network
