Read the rest of CQC's summary
We have made a recommendation about the management of some medicines.
People were supported by staff who had received training and supervision. Feedback around staff was positive from people who felt well cared for. People received input from healthcare professionals where needed and were supported to access the appropriate health services in a timely way. People were fully supported with their hydration and nutrition needs by staff who were aware of their individual needs and choices around food and drink. 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.
The service had employed a clinical lead since the last inspection to complement the management team. More robust clinical monitoring and audits had been introduced. The management team had addressed the issues from the last inspection. Feedback about the management of the home from people and staff was very positive.
We have made a recommendation about the secure storage of potentially harmful substances.
