What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 13 January 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
There were sufficient care staff on duty to meet people's needs. However, improvements were needed to make sure staff files contained all the required information before staff started work.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Domestic staff vacancies meant there was not always enough staff available to undertake deep cleaning. The provider was trying to recruit to the posts and had rearranged tasks so that more cleaning could be undertaken at night.
Improvements had been made to the governance and oversight of the service, however, these needed to be further developed and become embedded into day to day practice.
We made a recommendation about the governance of the service.
Improvements had been made to the arrangements for the management of risk of COVIDovid-19 and record keeping. Risk assessments had been completed and care plans had been brought up to date. Medication was safely managed, and systems were in place to identify and report events that could place people at risk of harm.
People and their relatives spoke highly of the caring nature of the staff and had confidence in the managers' ability to lead the staff team and manage the service.
