What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 6 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
People told us they felt safe living in the home, and they were happy with the service provided. Improvements had been made to the management of medicines and risks. However, we noted there were signature omissions in the administration of topical creams. Following the inspection, the registered manager confirmed additional checks had been introduced to ensure the topical cream administration records were fully completed.

Individual and environmental risks had been assessed and managed. There were sufficient numbers of staff deployed to meet people's needs and ensure their safety. The provider operated an appropriate procedure for the recruitment of new staff. People were protected from the risks associated with the spread of infection. Whilst the premises had a satisfactory standard of cleanliness throughout the building, a shower room had been left unclean. The registered manager took immediate action to have the room cleaned during the inspection.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
The management team carried out a series of audits to check and monitor the quality of the service. The registered manager considered the views of people, their relatives and staff in respect to the quality of care provided. The registered manager and staff used the feedback to make ongoing improvements to the service.
