“We found significant concerns across the service, including poor governance, unsafe restrictive practices, inconsistent record‑keeping and care plans that did not always reflect people’s individual needs. These shortfalls meant people were not consistently safe or receiving personalised, well‑coordinated support.”
“However, we also saw positive interactions, with staff showing kindness and understanding in people’s day-to-day support. People were encouraged to take part in activities they enjoyed, and staff made appropriate referrals when concerns about health or wellbeing were identified.”
“We identified 3 breaches of the legal regulations in relation to safe care and treatment, safeguarding and governance.”
“In instances where CQC have decided to take civil or criminal enforcement action against a provider, we will publish this information on our website after any representations and/ or appeals have been concluded.”
