What inspectors found
Improvements had been made, since the last inspection, to the overall condition and safety of the care environment. People were being protected from the risk of scalds, and adaptations had been made to radiators. People were being protected from the risk of falling from height, as changes had been made to window restrictors and the gates on the landings leading to flights of stairs. There was an ongoing refurbishment plan in place, and people had contributed to the decorations, for example through crafts and having photographs on the walls of events such as people's birthdays.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People we spoke with felt comfortable speaking openly in front of staff to give us feedback about the standards of care provided. One person gave high praise regarding the food and levels of care provided by staff. We observed people to be actively interacting with staff, including the registered provider, who people felt able to approach and discuss any concerns with.
Staff told us about the systems and processes implemented to maintain people's safety during a recent COVID-19 outbreak at the service, and acknowledged that whilst this had been an emotionally challenging time to work, they had worked well as a staff team to keep people safe and prevent social isolation and loneliness.
The interim manager and registered provider had implemented additional governance checks and processes since the last inspection, to try to ensure that shortfalls in care provision were being identified and addressed in a timely way; some systems were still being embedded into practice at the time of the inspection visit.
