Read the rest of CQC's summary
The accommodation was all on 1 floor, with communal lounge and dining areas. People had access to secure outdoor space.
What inspectors found
Medicines were not always safely managed. Where people took medicines 'as and when required' there was a lack of guidance for staff to know how and when to support people to take these and reasons for the medicines being given were not always recorded.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider had not always explored how people would prefer to be cared for at the end of their lives. Complaints were not always reviewed for lessons to be learnt.
There were enough staff to support people and checks were made on their suitability to work in the service. People were protected from the risk of abuse. Staff understood their responsibilities and appropriate referrals were made. People were protected from the risk of infection and were able to have visitors as appropriate.
People were supported to have 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.
