What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 9 August 2021 · Last inspected 29 June 2021
Inspectors looked at Woodthorne Care Home, a residential home for older adults, in a focused review of safety and leadership only, after concerns about record keeping and a day centre opening in the home. They found people were kept safe: staff knew how to report abuse and understood individual risks, there were enough staff, medicines were given safely, and Covid-19 infection controls were in place. Inspectors also said some auditing did not record actions taken, and that care plans needed more detail so staff support people consistently.
- Staff knew how to recognise and report concerns about abuse
