What inspectors found
We made a recommendation that the provider reviews the medicines management practice, to ensure their procedures are followed consistently.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People told us they were supported to take the medicines they were prescribed on time. People said they could get additional support if needed, for example additional pain relief. Staff had kept clear records of the support they provided for people to take tablet and liquid medicines. However, the records for people prescribed emollient creams were inconsistent, with some days when there was no record of people being supported to use the cream.
The home had good infection prevention and control procedures in place. Procedures had been reviewed and updated to reflect the COVID-19 pandemic. Systems were in place to prevent visitors catching and spreading infections.
There were enough staff to meet people's needs. The registered manager had strengthened the home's staffing contingency measures following an emergency situation. This meant there were more bank staff to call on to cover unexpected staff absence if needed.
The registered manager had taken action to keep people safe and manage the risks they faced. Staff had a good understanding of the action they needed to take to keep people safe.
Staff demonstrated a good understanding of people's individual needs and a commitment to provide person-centred care.
The registered manager worked well with people to meet their needs. They had developed good relationships with health and social care professionals.
