What inspectors found
At the last inspection of the service the provider had not made sure that governance systems were sufficiently effective to monitor and improve the quality and safety of the service. Since then improvements had been made, but the provider still needed to make sure that any actions were completed. We have made a recommendation about this.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
At the last inspection there were no records to show how decisions had been taken by others in the best interest of people who lacked capacity. Records were now in place and these were improving as staff became more familiar with the reasons for supporting people in this way.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff assisted them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service upheld this practice.
Relatives made many positive comments about the friendliness of staff and the support that people received. They felt involved and included in discussions about people's care. They said people enjoyed the meals at the home.
People's needs were assessed to make sure their care could be provided by this service. Staff were familiar with each person's preferences and how they wanted to be supported.
The provider and management team were open and approachable. There was a friendly atmosphere in the home and relatives said the service was homely, personalised and family-orientated.
Relatives and staff were uncertain about future management arrangements. The provider was committed to strengthening on-site management support.
