What inspectors found
People, and their relatives, told us they felt safe at Wordsworth House. Staff understood how to safeguard people form abuse and were confident any concerns would be appropriately responded to by the registered manager. Improvements had been made to infection prevention and control measures since our last inspection. Staff were very knowledgeable about PPE and wore it correctly. Measures to assess competency and monitor compliance with PPE use were in place. Risks were assessed and minimised. Medicines were managed safely. Staff worked as a team to meet people's needs and support new staff who had recently started in post. Safe recruitment practices were followed.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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.
A range of audits were used to effectively monitor and assess the service. Areas for improvement were identified and responded to in a timely manner so the service was continuously learning and developing. Everyone we spoke to said the home was well-led, and the staff were kind, caring and supportive. No concerns were raised with us during the inspection.
