“People were accommodated across 3 units named Ryder, Main and Suites. The registered manager was absent from work and there was a covering manager from another of the provider’s services present at the home.”
“During this inspection we found improvements were needed to the culture in the home. The provider was aware of this and was working proactively with stakeholders and staff to make the necessary improvements. We also found there were shortfalls with the safe management of people’s medicines and the systems used to record this. The external grounds also required work to make them a safe space for people who were living with dementia.
