Read the rest of CQC's summary

The assessment was prompted in part by notification of an incident following which a person using the service required hospital admission. This incident was subject to further investigation by CQC as to whether any regulatory action should be taken. As a result, this assessment did not examine the circumstances of the incident. However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of risk of unsafe medicines management. This assessment examined those risks.

During our assessment, we found people were mostly supported safely. We found some concerns in relation to people’s care and support records, including medical records. We received positive feedback from staff and relatives about the management of the service, but found some audits were not always effective in identifying areas for improvement.

  1. Safe

    Good

    In this key question we looked at 4 quality statements. We looked at how people were supported to transition into other healthcare services, recruitment and training for staff, people’s management of risks, and how medicines were managed.

    Staff were recruited safely, and there were enough staff to ensure people’s safety and meet their needs. However, we found a breach of the legal regulation in relation to governance. We found people’s care and support records did not always contain clear and accurate information, and found information about people’s needs was not always consistently recorded.

  2. Effective

    Good

    In this key question we assessed at one quality statement, which looked at how people’s care and support needs were assessed and reviewed.

  3. Well-led

    Good

    In this key question we looked at 1 quality statement. We looked at the provider’s systems and processes in relation to the management of the service. We found audits were completed regularly and the feedback from staff about the management team was positive. However, we found a breach of legal regulation in relation to governance. Audits had not identified the concerns found during this assessment and the provider failed to ensure people had accurate, complete and contemporaneous records.
