What inspectors found
Improvements were required in certain areas of the home to comply with required standards of hygiene and promote infection prevention and control. There were minor areas of improvement required in the management of 'as required' medicines.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not always support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service did not always support this practice.
The provider had effective systems in place for monitoring and improving the quality of care and support people received. Managers were accessible and supportive to staff, people and their relatives. There were robust systems in place for engaging people who used the service, staff and other stakeholders in service planning and delivery.
