Read the rest of CQC's summary
Medicines were managed safely. There were some issues with medicines paperwork which was being addressed.
Quality monitoring and governance procedures required some improvement. The registered manager and provider was addressing this.
Enough staff were employed to meet people's needs and a safe recruitment system was in place. We have made a recommendation regarding recruitment of agency staff.
Activities took place within the home, but we have made a recommendation about tailored activities for those people on upper floors, particular those cared for in bed or those living with dementia.
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 home supported this practice.
