About

The Care Quality Commission rated the home as Requires Improvement overall in 2021, with Effective, Caring and Responsive services marked as Good, while Safe and Well-led were rated Requires Improvement.
The home welcomes enquiries from families considering care and is open to discussing individual needs and supporting the transition into residential care.
What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 30 March 2021 · Last inspected 8 March 2021
Inspectors looked at infection prevention and control and at how the service was led, following concerns about staffing. They found a visiting arrangement that let families visit independently, routine COVID testing for people and staff, safe medicines handling, and staff who were trained and knew how to raise concerns. The overall rating moved from Good to Requires improvement, mainly because of infection control systems and the accuracy of records.
- Families can visit through a separate visiting pod, and visitors are required to wear protective equipment, which staff were seen wearing correctly.
- People and staff are tested for COVID-19 routinely, in line with government guidance.
- Medicines are managed safely, staffing levels met people's needs, and recruitment checks were carried out.
- The manager responded thoroughly to whistleblowing concerns and worked with staff and the Care Quality Commission, and the views of people and staff are sought and considered.
- The laundry area's maintenance and working practices needed improving to reduce the risk of infection spreading.
- Checks of the environment were not yet robust or effective enough.
- Records assessing people's risks were not always completed accurately, and management had not ensured consistent record-keeping across all areas of the service.
