What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 23 July 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The provider had started providing care for people with complex conditions. We were not assured the tasks being provided were within the providers scope of registration and all risks related to this fully explored and mitigated. Whilst some training had been provided to staff delivering these tasks, the records kept in relation to this were not always comprehensive or up to date.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People and their relatives told us they felt safe and were protected from the risk of abuse. Risk assessments had been carried out to identify and minimise any risks involved in people's care. People's medicines were managed safely. Staff were recruited safely and there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
Care plans were reviewed and updated as people's needs changed. People were supported by staff who knew them well and were able to identify people's likes and dislikes. 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 monitored people's health effectively and responded promptly if people became unwell. Staff worked well with other professionals involved in people's care to ensure they received the support they needed.
People told us they were treated with dignity and respect and were positive about the support they received.
A complaints procedure was in place and people told us they felt able to raise concerns when they needed to.
The provider monitored the quality of the service and had an action plan to address any areas identified for improvement.
