Read the rest of CQC's summary
CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.
What inspectors found
Risks to people had been identified and assessed, however the risk assessments were not always dated when they had been carried out or when they were to be reviewed. Risk assessments to people who were prescribed anticoagulant medicines contained limited information and required more detail. We have made a recommendation about the providers management and completion of risk assessments.

People received consistent care by a staffing team they knew well. Staff understood people's care and support needs and there was enough staff to meet people's needs. The registered manager had systems in place to recruit staff safely. The registered manager and staff knew how to identify and report any concerns.
Staff received an induction when commencing their role and had undertaken some specialised training to help develop their skills and knowledge. Staff told us they felt supported in their roles and the registered manager was always available if they had any concerns. People were supported with their medicines by trained members of staff when required.
The registered manager carried out an assessment of people's needs prior to starting with the service and how they liked to be cared for. People's nutritional needs were met. They were supported to maintain a balanced diet. 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.
