What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 23 February 2024 · Last inspected 18 January 2024
Inspectors found that staff know the people they support well and that people are encouraged to stay independent and take part in activities, both within the home and in the local community. Relatives and health professionals described the care and the management team in positive terms, and inspectors found a positive culture with staff feeling supported. Some care records, including care plans and daily notes, were less detailed and less consistently updated than they should have been.
- Staff know people's needs well, and health professionals say they follow up on guidance and arrive prepared.
- People are supported to keep and build their independence, and risks are assessed and managed so people can live as they choose.
- Medicines are managed safely, staff have been trained in administration, and competency checks have been completed.
- There is a varied activities programme, including themed events, and staff feel supported and able to raise concerns with managers.
- Care plans for older people with distressed behaviours did not describe what those behaviours might look like or how to manage them, and some care plans were not fully updated when people's needs changed.
- Daily records were generic and did not clearly reflect people's identified care needs or the care actually given, and handwritten medicines records were not checked or countersigned thoroughly enough.
- Audit processes need improving so that the right audits are completed on time and reviewed properly, and oversight of accidents and incidents needs strengthening.
