What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 10 January 2020 · Last inspected 12 December 2019
Inspectors found that everyday care was generally sound, with people feeling safe, risks being managed, medicines stored properly, and support in place for diet and healthcare. Staff were described as generally kind and knowledgeable about people's needs, although inspectors noted some occasions when interactions were more focused on tasks. Improvements under way include a newer electronic records system and care plans being made more detailed and person-centred, and people and relatives felt things had begun to get better under the new manager.
- Risk assessments were in place, and the environment and equipment were checked and serviced regularly.
- Medicines were stored safely, and guidance was in place for medication given as needed.
- The home was described as homely and designed to encourage people to be independent and make their own choices.
- Staff worked well with other healthcare professionals and were trained to support people and their families at the end of life.
- Not everyone felt there were enough staff.
- At times, staff interactions were more task focused than warm.
- Care plans were still being developed to make them more detailed and person-centred.
