Read the rest of CQC's summary

Not all safety checks were being recorded and improvements were needed to the way risks including risks associated with medicines were assessed and minimised. We have made recommendations regarding environmental risks and medicines handling.

Effective management systems were in place. Managers took positive steps to make sure lessons were learnt and action taken to make improvements. People were positive about the management of the service and staff enjoyed their work. Relatives were involved, and people felt any concerns they raised would be responded to promptly.

Staff were kind, knew people well and treated them with respect. People were encouraged and supported to take part in a wide range of activities and do the things they enjoyed. People had access to healthcare services and professionals and were supported with their nutritional needs.

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.
