Read the rest of CQC's summary
Risks to people's health and safety were assessed and regularly reviewed. Staff followed these plans to ensure people's safety.
There were occasions when there not enough staff to meet people's needs promptly. The provider's dependency tool did not consider how people chose to use the environment and the impacts on staffing requirements. We have made a recommendation about this.
The provider had safeguarding and whistleblowing policies and systems in place. Staff understood these and how to identify potential signs of abuse. They worked well with external partners to keep people safe, though some felt that communication could be improved further.
The registered manager and regional management reviewed data regarding falls and incidents.
The environment was well maintained and clean. The outdoor space had been used creatively, with relaxed seating areas and a play space for visitor's young children.
Staff were recruited safely. They received an initial induction and ongoing training, support and competence checks.
Medicines were stored and administered safely. The registered manager and regional manager demonstrated they had dealt with a recent medicines incident thoroughly and had made changes to improve safety.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People's nutritional needs were understood and feedback regarding meals was positive. Staff used nationally recognised tools to monitor risks associated with malnutrition.
Staff interacted sensitively with people throughout the inspection.
Planned activities had been impacted on by the need for the wellbeing lead to support with care delivery. They and the registered manager hoped this was a short term situation and there were plans in place to fill vacant positions. The registered manager stated they planned to use the provider's minibus to increase outings during the summer.
The registered manager was well respected by staff and external partners. Feedback from external specialists was positive regarding the leadership of the service.
Clear systems were in place to maintain oversight of the service.
