What inspectors found

People had benefitted from a new management team and investment in new technology. We received positive feedback about the new management in the service. Relatives and staff told us things had improved. There was a new registered manager in place and improvements had been made to the provider's governance systems. Improvements were ongoing and we have made a recommendation about the provider's governance systems.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People received their medicines as prescribed. However, records were not always robust. We have made recommendations about the management of some medicines. Staff had received training in safeguarding and knew how to identify and report concerns. Accidents and incidents had been documented and lessons were learned where required. Infection control was managed effectively.

It was not always clear if people had received enough to eat and drink and we have made a recommendation about nutrition and hydration. Staff received the training they needed to carry out their roles and they gave good feedback about the supervision and support they received. The service was dementia friendly and this included the mealtime experience which was person centred.

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.
