What inspectors found
People were at risk as systems to manage medicines were not always effective. The fire service identified actions required to make sure people were protected from the risk of fire, and this was ongoing. We have made a recommendation about fire safety. People were cared for by regular staff that knew them well, however the knowledge of agency staff was not as good. People and their relatives said they felt safe and well cared for and staff said they would recommend the home to others. The home was clean and tidy, and staff learned lessons if things went wrong.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People enjoyed living at the home and there were lots of opportunities for social contact. The home had its own transport to support people to go out and take part in local events regularly.
People were supported by staff that were caring and mindful of dignity, and people told us that staff treated them with respect. People were involved in their care and relatives spoke highly about staff.
Not all areas of governance were embedded, such as in relation to regulatory requirements and we have made a recommendation about this. There was a positive culture in the home and people living at the home and their relatives were positive about their care. The registered manager engaged with people and their relatives well and arranged regular team meetings.
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.
