Care plans and risk assessments were not always kept up to date and factual. We found conflicting information had been recorded. Staff did not always have the information to support people safely.
Unexplained injuries had not always been investigated to identify a cause and reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
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 did not support this practice.
Oversight of the service required improvement. Systems and processes were not always effective in identifying improvements needed and mitigation of risks.
People and relatives had not been asked to feedback on the service. However, staff had completed annual feedback surveys, had regular supervisions, and were offered regular meetings.
