What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 23 March 2023 · Last inspected 11 January 2023

Inspectors found enough staff to provide safe care, but relatives and staff reported that people sometimes waited for personal care, and the provider has introduced measures to reduce agency use and increase permanent staffing. The report also raises concerns about personal hygiene and communication with families, and says care records did not always show when people refused care.

Strengths noted
  • Staff understand their role in protecting people from abuse.
  • Risks to people's health and wellbeing are identified, assessed and managed.
  • Staff receive regular training, and people's health is monitored with referrals to outside healthcare professionals.
  • People are encouraged to eat a balanced diet, and their appetite and weight are monitored.
Areas to improve
  • People sometimes waited for personal care, which relatives and staff linked to staffing levels.
  • Relatives said personal hygiene standards needed improving.
  • Communication between staff and relatives needed improving, and care records did not always show when care was refused.
