What inspectors found
Risk assessments required more information on techniques for staff to support people when displaying distressed behaviour. Risk assessments did not always contain enough or up to date information.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Some people received time critical controlled medicines however they did not always receive their medication at the required prescribed time.
Records in relation to the use of restraint were not clear and transparent to show if the restraint used was the least restrictive technique for the shortest possible time in line with best practice guidance.
Best interest documentation sometimes lacked sufficient information to demonstrate restrictions had been arranged in people's best interests.
The provider's handover documentation did not always have sufficient information to ensure staff were up to date with people's conditions and health needs.
Audits undertaken by the provider were not always effective at monitoring the quality of the service, some risk assessments lacked detail to clearly identify what mitigation was in place. In addition, some care plans did not contain enough detail.
One person's bedroom was in an unsafe condition. The provider had safeguarding systems and processes in place to keep people safe. People felt safe and were supported by staff who knew how to protect them from avoidable harm.
Staff spoke positively about working for the provider. They felt well supported and that they could talk to the management team at any time, feeling confident any concerns would be acted on promptly. They felt valued and happy in their role.
