What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 7 July 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Risk was assessed, and plans put in place to guide staff on how to safely manage areas of risk. However, records used to monitor risk were not always completed to show people had received the safe care they needed. The systems for monitoring the quality and safety of the service were not always used effectively. They failed to identify and mitigate risk and bring about improvements. It was observed during the inspection that people were comfortable and happy in the presence of staff who interacted with then in a caring and patient manner.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Systems and processes were in place to safeguard people from the risk of abuse and family members told us they felt their relatives were safe with staff. GPs and other healthcare professionals were contacted for advice about people's health needs whenever it was identified as necessary.

Medicines where managed safely. Infection control standards were also monitored and managed appropriately. Accidents and incidents were recorded and reviewed in order to minimise the risk of reoccurrence.

Staff were recruited safely and there appeared enough staff available to meet people's day to day needs. Feedback from people and their relatives indicated that there were familiar staff on duty including the use of agency staff.

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.

  1. Safe was rated Requires improvement on 7 July 2022. Ask how medicines are managed, how staffing levels are decided and how incidents are reviewed.
