“Although the service had been inspected, this was the first inspection since it had been registered with a new provider.”
“The provider did not always ensure people’s individual needs and preferences were met. Risks to people were not always managed safely and lessons were not always learnt to reduce future risks to people. Staff had insufficient information to fully care and support people and manage their health conditions and associated risks.”
“Senior leadership was ineffective, lacked visibility, oversight and the skills required to ensure safe, person-centred care delivery.”
“The provider did not always identify safeguarding risks and raise them with CQC or the Local Authority. The provider did not always take timely action to ensure the environment was safe.”
“The provider’s quality assurance and auditing systems were inconsistent and not always effective in detecting concerns. Systems to ensure care was provided safely and appropriately were not always robust.”
“Staff did their best to support people and we observed caring interactions taking place between staff and people; however, we observed insufficient staffing levels during the inspection. Feedback from staff and people’s families highlighted there were significant shortfalls in staffing levels throughout the service.”
“Most staff told us they felt supported in their roles; however, we observed a culture of blame towards staff.”
“Overall, people were put at risk due to poor oversight, governance and leadership. The provider was in breach of legal regulation relating to safe care and treatment, staffing and governance arrangements.”
“The provider responded to our feedback and took some immediate actions to address the safety concerns we raised during our inspection.”
