At our last inspection the service was in breach of regulation relating to safe care and treatment and governance.

At this assessment, there were 69 people in residence. We found they were no longer in breach of regulations as the provider had taken action to mitigate and manage risks to people’s needs. People received their medicine safely by staff trained and competent to do so. People’s health was promoted by safe infection prevention and control practices. Improvements were found with the learning culture, oversight systems to monitor and improve all aspects of the service. Staff were recruited safely, supervised, received feedback on their performance and their wellbeing promoted. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs. Personalised guidance in care plans enabled staff to support people safely. Staff understood how to protect them from abuse. All accidents, incidents and complaints had been recorded and were thoroughly investigated. People’s choices and wishes were respected and lawful processes were followed for people who lacked capacity to make their own decisions. Staff monitored people’s health and worked well with other agencies to ensure the best outcomes for people. People lived in a clean and well-maintained home. Staff treated people with respect, kindness and were supported to maintain their independence. The service had a registered manager, and they and staff understood their roles and responsibilities. There was a positive culture within the home, empowering people and staff to speak up without fear. Management and staff ensured people had equal opportunities and did not face discrimination within the care.
