What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 September 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The management team conducted a variety of audits to assess the quality and safety of care provided. This included a report following a daily walk around the building. However, the shortfalls we identified in relation to fire safety, the dignified care of people's belongings following death, medicines management and people's access to personal care equipment had not been identified. In response to our findings the registered manager took action to update and improve systems to improve oversight and governance.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
There were sufficient staff available to meet people's needs. Staff were safely recruited and checks were made on their suitability.
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.
Relatives spoke positively about the caring culture of the service and felt that their loved ones were safe and well supported. They also told us the service was managed well, communication was good and their opinions were sought in the planning and review of people's care and treatment.
