What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 1 June 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
There had been significant improvements following the inspection of August 2019. Positive changes had been made to the oversight of pressure mattresses to ensure they were set at the required setting for each person. This helped to reduce the risk of people developing pressure sores. Protocols were in place for people who were prescribed blood thinning medicines following a fall. Thickening agents were stored safely and had been removed from people's rooms. Records were revised and were clearer about the type of hoist slings that staff could leave in-situ for people. This meant the risk of harm to people had been reduced.
