About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 8 May 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found
Staff were aware of their responsibilities in safeguarding people from abuse. Risks were well managed. Care records gave clear guidance to staff on what needed to happen to keep people safe, whilst respecting peoples choices. Staff had received training to guide them on managing risks. Health and safety checks in the home had been carried out. There was a programme of regular maintenance to the building and servicing of equipment. Medicines were managed safely. Safe systems of recruitment were in place.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Risks to people who used the service, staff and visitors relating to infection prevention and control, and specifically Covid-19, had been assessed and appropriate action taken. The provider was promoting good infection control and hygiene practices. Staff had received additional training, including handwashing and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Since our last comprehensive inspection, a new provider had taken over the service. The provider had good oversight of the service. Systems of daily, weekly and monthly quality assurance checks and audits were in place. The service is required to have a registered manager in place. The location did not have a registered manager. Where satisfactory steps have not been taken to recruit one within a reasonable timescale this can be a limiter on the rating for Well-led. However, the provider had taken satisfactory steps in a timely manner to recruit a new manager, who had started the process of applying to register with CQC.
People told us they were happy living at the home and were treated with respect. Staff knew people well and spoke about people in respectful and caring ways.
