What inspectors found
People could not be assured all equipment was suitable for their needs. Audits did not always drive improvement.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People told us they felt safe and they were supported by staff who helped them quickly if they needed this. Staff gave conflicting information regarding the staffing arrangements. We have made a recommendation about the staffing at the home.
Checks were completed to help ensure prospective staff were suitable to work with vulnerable people. Risk assessments were carried out to help minimise the risk of avoidable harm and staff knew the help and support people needed. Medicines were managed safely.
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 were cared for in a clean and homely environment by staff who were caring, competent and knowledgeable about people's needs.
