The home was clean and well presented. However, kitchenettes on each unit required a deep clean. The registered manager took immediate action to address these concerns. People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse, staff received training and knew how to recognise and report abuse. There were sufficient staff available to meet people's needs. The provider had a safe recruitment procedure in place to ensure appropriate staff were selected to work at the home. Risks associated with people's care had been identified and actions taken to keep people safe. Accidents and incidents were monitored and analysed to ensure trends and patterns were identified and actions taken to prevent reoccurring incidents. People received their medicines as prescribed by staff who were competent to administer medicines.
