Read the rest of CQC's summary
Although we were assured people received their medicines as prescribed, we have made a recommendation about the information to guide staff to manage 'as required' medicines.
Risks to people were identified and managed to lessen the risk of harm to people. Staff knew the people they supported well and provided them with individualised care that reflected their needs, risks and preferences.
Staff followed infection control guidance and had access to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
There were enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Staff had been recruited safely.
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.
The registered manager and provider monitored the quality of the service. Effective monitoring systems were in place and information from monitoring and audits were used to drive improvements.
