“The service did not have a registered manager. The provider was acting to appoint a suitable person to this role. Management analysed incidents, accidents, complaints and allegations of abuse to identify trends and learning.”
“Care plans and risk assessments had been reviewed and were now more focused around people’s rehabilitation goals. The provider was working with partners to develop these further to ensure people achieved their goals. This was due to limitations with data sharing; the provider was working jointly with healthcare partners to address this.”
“Medicines were managed safely. There were enough trained staff to meet people’s needs. Staff told us support, teamwork and communication had got better. Improved recording was in place for 'as required' medicines and medicines care plans were more personalised.”
