About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 February 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Charnwood is a residential home providing personal and nursing care to 16 older people, some of whom were living with dementia at the time of the inspection. The service can support up to 19 people. Charnwood accommodates people in one adapted building over two floors.
What inspectors found
People's risk assessment and care plans sometimes lacked details on how they should be supported. Staff could however explain how people were kept safe and people and relatives told us they felt safe living at the home.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not consistently supported by enough staff. We have made a recommendation about staffing levels in the home. People were safeguarded from abuse as staff understood how to recognise and report any concerns. People received their medicines on time, and we were assured the home was following infection prevention procedures. Accident and incidents were reviewed, and lessons learned were shared with staff.
The governance arrangements were not consistently effective in driving improvements. Audits were in place and these were driving changes however this was not fully embedded, and more improvements were needed. The manager was notifying CQC as required of incidents which occurred. There was a system in place to learn when things went wrong and actions had been taken to make improvements following the last inspection and other professionals feedback.
People, staff and relatives spoke positively about the improvements and how the home was managed.
