About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 20 December 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found
The management of risk was not always safe and some records related to people's care were not accurate and up to date. The provider's systems to assess, monitor and improve the service had not identified and addressed the shortfalls we found during this inspection. We have made a recommendation about this.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Accidents and incidents were routinely analysed to look for ways safety could be improved. The provider had systems to protect people from abuse and staff training had improved. The provider continued to recruit staff safely and were keeping their staffing levels under review. The home was clean and well- maintained, and the provider operated good infection control practices.
