We identified shortfalls in the management of medicines. Immediate measures were taken during the inspection to address these issues to ensure safe care was provided. Staff understood how to safeguard people and when to raise concerns. Recruitment practices were safe. Risks associated with people's care were assessed and monitored. Staff followed infection prevention and control guidance to minimise risks related to the spread of infection.
Staff were responsive to people's needs and people and their relatives were happy with the standard of care provided. Staff were kind and caring and people were treated with dignity and respect. People were supported to access relevant health and social care support and people had access to a range of activities to meet their needs.
Plans were in place to ensure all staff training and supervisions were up to date. People were happy with the quality of the food and plans had started to refurbish the home.
People were 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 supported this practice.
