About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 18 March 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found
Staff had received training for safeguarding, and this was updated regularly. Risk assessments were in place to manage potential risks within people's lives. Concerns had been raised as monitoring charts used to mitigate risks to people were not always completed effectively. However, the provider had appointed a new manager and oversight of risk monitoring had recently improved. Minor improvements were needed to medicine processes. Staffing numbers had increased to keep people safe and the provider followed the established recruitment procedures to ensure staff employed were suitable for their role.

People received personalised care and participated in activities, hobbies and events they enjoyed. People told us they knew who to complain to and would feel confident in doing so. We made a recommendation about the review of care plans.
The provider had recognised some aspects of the quality assurance processes had not always been consistent in recognising shortfalls. This had now been addressed and oversight of the service had improved.
