What inspectors found
There had been significant improvements made to the management and oversight of the service. A new manager had become registered and a new management team had been deployed. Systems introduced to monitor and assess the quality of the service had driven improvement in the quality and safety of the service people received and the accuracy of records. People had benefited from changes to the environment and décor which made the service feel more homely and relaxed.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff at the service followed national guidance in relation to infection prevention and control and wore personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriately. The service was clean and hygienic, and people's relatives felt their loved ones were safe.
Staff had completed the required training that the provider considered to be mandatory. The recruitment of staff was safe and there were enough staff on duty to meet people's needs. People received their medicines when they needed them from trained nurses. Risks to people's health and safety had been assessed and mitigated and equipment had been serviced and maintained. Accidents and incidents were recorded and reviewed in order to minimise the risk of reoccurrence.
People's relatives spoke highly of the registered manager and staff team who they described as kind and caring. They told us they felt informed and that staff morale had improved.
