What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 29 August 2023 · Last inspected 17 July 2023
Inspectors found that people using this dementia care home were content with their care, appeared at ease with staff, and were treated with warmth. Staffing was judged adequate, medicines were managed safely, and care plans reflected people's current needs. The report also found that the home's layout, its accessible information, and the mealtime experience needed improvement, and that the provider's quality checks had not prevented these gaps.
- People said they felt safe and well supported, and inspectors saw friendly relationships between people and staff.
- Medicines were handled safely, and care plans were up to date and matched people's needs.
- Relatives could visit freely, and a programme of activities supported people's wellbeing.
- Staff were committed, worked well with outside agencies, and had received training suited to people's needs.
- The layout of the service and the availability of accessible information had not been fully considered for people living with dementia.
- The mealtime experience needed to improve, and inspectors made a recommendation about helping people with dementia to eat and drink well.
- The quality assurance systems did not ensure that the areas identified for improvement were prevented and fixed.
