Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's experience of the service and what we found People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service did not support this practice. Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) were not in place for everyone who needed them.

Risks to people had not been fully identified and care plans lack information or contained conflicting information on how to keep people safe.

Medicines were not always well managed, and staff did not understand the difference between crushing a medicine to make it easier for a person to swallow and administering medicines covertly.

Audits were not always effective in identify concerns and driving improvements. Areas of the environment were in need of redecoration.

There were enough staff to meet people's needs and they received appropriate training. Staff knew how to safeguard people. However, new staff needed their safeguarding training prioritised in their induction. People's nutritional needs were met safely. The home was clean and tidy.

The registered manager learnt from incidents and took action to keep people safe.
