What inspectors found
Concerns had been raised to CQC with regard to some aspects of medicines management. For example, the manager had been unaware of the need to have a member of staff on duty at night who was trained to administer medicines. The manager did not have a clear understanding of when to notify CQC of any abuse or alleged abuse, and this was clarified with them at inspection.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Nevertheless, The Bill House provided a safe, caring environment for people. One person told us they were happy living at the home and of the kindness of staff. Risks had been assessed and actions were taken to mitigate risks. Staffing levels were sufficient to meet people's needs and new staff were recruited safely. People received their medicines as prescribed.
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.
A robust system of audits had been implemented to measure and monitor the care people received, and to drive improvements. People's diverse needs were recognised and catered for.
