Safe staffing levels were not always in place There was an established staff team who knew people well and fostered caring and trusting relationships. However, we found staff were rushed and people did not always receive timely support when they needed it. Risks to people’s health, safety and wellbeing were assessed and regularly reviewed. Some improvements were required in relation to how the service mitigated risks to people’s skin integrity and the management of medicines. Recruitment was managed well, and staff received good quality induction, training and supervision to be able to carry out their role.
Audits and checks were in place to maintain oversight of the service. However, some audits had not identified the shortfalls we found during the assessment. The provider and registered manager were accessible and approachable and committed to providing a person-centred, high-quality service. The service had a proactive approach to improvement and learning lessons, including welcoming new initiatives to improve people’s experiences.
People’s health needs were met and the service worked well with stakeholders and other agencies. There were good links with health and social care professionals. The service was homely, safe and clean. People’s needs were assessed before they started to use the service.
The service was clean, accessible and well maintained. People’s bedrooms were well equipped and personalised, and people had access to homely and comfortable communal areas and a safe garden.
The provider was in breach of legal regulations in relation to safe staffing, the management of risk, including medicines, and good governance. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.
