The home consisted of a large adapted main building and two ground floor flats in the grounds.
What inspectors found
At the last inspection the provider had not made sure that governance systems were sufficiently effective to monitor and improve the quality and safety of the service. Since then there had been improvements in the way the staff carried out audits to check the safety of the service. The provider was developing corporate governance tools so the home could be monitored against its own expected standards. We have made a recommendation about this.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
At the last inspection some staff had not always had training in essential areas. This had improved and staff spoke positively about the training they had received during the pandemic.
At the last inspection there were no records to show how decisions had been taken by others in the best interests of people who lacked capacity. Records were now in place and there were plans to improve these further.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff assisted them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service upheld this practice.
