What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 17 April 2023 · Last inspected 28 March 2023
Inspectors found that Wychdene, a residential home for up to 24 people including older people and those living with dementia, has improved since a new provider took over. People are involved in decisions, staff feel supported, and people are encouraged to take part in planned activities and outings. Care is described as kind and respectful, with attention to privacy, independence and people's wishes.
- People's views are sought and acted on, and the provider and managers work to develop the service.
- Medicines and infection control are managed safely, and risks are reduced while people are still supported to take risks they want to.
- Staff are recruited safely, there are enough of them, and they receive the training they need.
- People are supported to eat well with planned menus, and staff work well with health professionals to keep people well.
