What inspectors found
Audits took place to ensure the quality of the service was maintained. However, these were not always robust and had not always identified where improvements were needed. Improvements were needed to the oversight of health and safety, fire safety and infection protection and control monitoring.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The service had experienced some turnover of staff, and were actively appointing to vacant posts so that a consistent team of staff were in place at all times.
Staff had a good understanding of the support people needed. Staff were kind and caring and understood their responsibility to report any concerns about people's health and well-being.
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.
Feedback about the service, from people who lived at the home and those close to them was positive. People and relatives praised the staff and the management of the home. The registered manager and provider understood their responsibilities under the duty of candour.
