What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 April 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

People told us they felt safe and staff supported them the way they liked it. Relatives were positive about how staff helped to keep people safe whilst maintaining their dignity.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Some relatives shared that they sometimes struggled to effectively communicate with some care workers whose first language was not English. The provider had identified this and had paired staff up with a strong co-worker with good communication skills and enrolled staff on an English language course.

People and relatives told us staff were punctual. Some people were not aware they had an allocated time for the care workers to arrive, but all people we spoke with were satisfied with the service provided.

People told us staff used personal protective equipment (PPE) in line with current guidance.
