What inspectors found
The provider, new management team and staff had worked hard to make improvements to the service in a short space of time. We received positive feedback regarding the management team and their leadership of the service. There was a kind and caring culture at the service which was supported by staff who were passionate about caring for people. Governance systems had been implemented which had helped identify shortfalls which were addressed in a timely manner.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Fire safety issues had been addressed. People were supported by knowledgeable and skilled staff who understood and effectively managed risks to people's safety and well-being. People were kept safe from abuse and concerns were appropriately reported.
People's medicines had been administered safely. However, some records and medicine protocols needed improving and action was taken during the inspection. Accidents and incidents were monitored, reviewed and used positively to support learning. The service was clean and tidy and current government guidance was being followed.
Positive working relationships had been established with other professionals which had helped ensure people received the referrals and professional support they needed.
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.
