Read the rest of CQC's summary
Most medicines were given safely and as prescribed. However, we have made a recommendation about the management of 'as required' medicines. Sufficient numbers of skilled and knowledgeable staff were available to meet people's needs. Staff were recruited safely.
People were supported by staff who treated them with dignity, respect and were kind, patient and caring. People's needs, and choices were known and respected. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities and liaised with health and social care professionals to ensure people's health and care needs were met.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives. Staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Some governance processes were either not completed regularly or had not been undertaken robustly to identify and monitor the quality of the service and drive improvement.
The management team were committed to providing good quality care and were responsive to the feedback we gave them, immediately addressing any shortfalls we highlighted.
