About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 November 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Bescot Lodge is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 26 people in one adapted building. At the time of the inspection the service was supporting 25 older people some who were living with dementia.
What inspectors found
A lack of oversight meant systems to monitor the quality and safety of the service were not always effective and had not identified the areas for improvement found at this inspection.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
We found medicines were not always stored safely and medicine stocks were not always accurate. Systems and processes for safeguarding and whistleblowing to keep people safe were effective. We found people's needs and preferences were met by a sufficient number of staff who were recruited safely. Infection control measures were in line with current government guidance.
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.
