What inspectors found

There were key aspects of this service which were positive, but there were also some shortfalls.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

There was a lack of systems to promote people's safety in relation to injuries and accidents. There were shortfalls with how staff training was provided and how staff competencies were checked by the registered manager. Risk assessments and reviews of care were not always complete. Effective plans had not always been made to respond to the risks which some people faced. There was a lack of checks by the registered manager and provider to assess the quality of the service they were providing. These shortfalls had the potential to place people at risk of harm.

People spoke well of the registered manager and staff who cared for them. People and a person's relative told us staff supported them in ways they wanted and at times of the day they had chosen. The registered manager had listened to what people wanted staff to do for them.

People told us staff were kind and respectful of them, their wishes, and their homes. People felt safe in the company of the care 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; but the systems in the service did not always support this practice.

Staff felt well supported by the registered manager, who they said was always available to assist them if something went wrong. Staff had regular supervisions and meetings. There was a positive culture at the service.
