What inspectors found
Whilst people's felt safe and supported living at the service, the provider's systems did not always ensure people received high quality care and support. The provider's quality assurance systems were not fully developed to identify issues in the service and drive improvement. The provider's systems had not identified issues we found on inspection, including with health and safety checks and staff training. The registered manager and provider did not always understand their regulatory roles and responsibilities. This put people at risk.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not always 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 did not always support this practice. We have made a recommendation about person-centred care.
Although people were supported by staff who knew how to respond appropriately in the event of accidents and incidents, the provider's systems for learning lessons were not robust.
People were supported by staff who been recruited following safe recruitment processes. People's medicines were managed appropriately. People were not always supported by staff who had received training relevant to their roles and people's care and support needs.
