Risks associated with people's care were identified and risk assessments were in place to minimise the risk. Accidents and incidents were monitored, and trends and patterns identified. People received their medicines as prescribed. The premises and equipment were safe and clean. The provider made sure infection control processes helped keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The home was clean and there were PPE stations situated at several point throughout the home. The provider had a robust recruitment procedure which ensured new staff were recruited safely.
