The provider had identified some concerns regarding medicine management and had begun to take action prior to our inspection.
People were protected from the risk and spread of infection and the home was clean and well maintained. The provider recruited staff safely. There were sufficient staff available to respond to people's needs in a timely way.
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.
Staff were caring and considerate and people told us they liked living at the home.
Audits had been completed and actions identified. On occasions, some actions had not been resolved in a timely way. We have made a recommendation that governance systems are further embedding into practice.
