What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 19 May 2023 · Last inspected 12 April 2023

Inspectors found that staff were mostly caring and respectful, and that they understood how to support people's independence, privacy and dignity. Staff had been recruited with checks, received training and supervision, and people could access a range of health professionals when needed. Some people still raised concerns about consistency and the timing and length of visits, and inspectors found gaps in how risks and medicines were managed.

Strengths noted
  • Staff understood how to safeguard people and how to raise concerns
  • Recruitment checks had improved since the last inspection
  • Staff were kind and caring, and supported people to stay independent
  • Care plans were person-centred and written with the involvement of people and their families
Areas to improve
  • Risk management plans were not always in place to guide staff on how to keep people with specific needs safe
  • Medicines were not always managed safely, and audits did not always identify the problems inspectors found
  • The electronic care system failed for several weeks, so staff had only paper care plans in people's homes
