Read the rest of CQC's summary
Risks to people were not always managed or monitored safely. There were gaps in care monitoring recordings and medicines were not always effectively monitored or managed.
The provider acted quickly to the recommendations identified and took action to improve quality monitoring systems. They updated care documentation and improved processes to manage medicines safely. These will be reviewed on the next inspection.
Staff used personal protective equipment (PPE) effectively and received infection prevention control training.
There were enough staff on duty to support people's needs and staff were recruited safely.
People, relatives and staff were confident to raise concerns or complaints and told us they felt these would be listen to and acted upon.
Relatives and staff had confidence in the manager's ability to lead the service. They confirmed how the provider works in partnership to achieve positive outcomes for people.
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.
