“At the last assessment, the service was rated inadequate in safe and well-led, with breaches of legislation identified. Effective, caring and responsive were rated as requires improvement. The overall rating published August 2025 was inadequate.”

“At this assessment we found some improvements had been made since the previous assessment. However, improvements were still needed in relation to staffing, risk management, consent, and governance. We found continued breaches of legal regulations in safe care and treatment, consent, governance and safe and sufficient staffing, you can read more detail about this further in the report.”

“In instances where CQC has begun a process of regulatory action, we may publish this information on our website after any representations and/or appeals have been concluded, if the action has been taken forward. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment in relation to consent to care.”

“This service remains in special measures. The purpose of special measures is to ensure that services providing inadequate care make significant improvements. Special measures provide a framework within which we use our enforcement powers in response to inadequate care and provide a timeframe within which providers must improve the quality of the care they provide.”

“At this assessment the overall rating for the service has changed from inadequate to requires improvement based on the findings of this assessment.  ”
