“We conducted this assessment due to the length of time since our last assessment.”

“At the last inspection in March 2019, the overall rating for the service was good. At this assessment, the overall rating for the service has remained good.”

“During this assessment, we found a breach of legal regulation relating to safe care and treatment. Appropriate risk assessments were not always in place for people, therefore there was a risk that staff did not always have suitable guidance to help minimise potential risks to people. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to these concerns.”

“Safeguarding procedures were in place to help protect people from abuse and poor care. People were supported by staff who were safely recruited. Staff had completed relevant training which gave them the qualifications, skills and experience to safely support people. People were treated with kindness and compassion. People received care from staff who were caring and had a good relationship with them. Staff respected people’s privacy and dignity.”

“An electronic system was in place to monitor medicines administration. Staff said they felt supported by the registered manager and felt valued working at the service.”

“Governance systems were in place to help monitor care provision. We noted these were completed regularly but found there were occasions where they lacked detail. We raised this with the registered manager who was receptive to our feedback and said that they would take appropriate action.”

“The service sought feedback from people and relatives as part of their quality monitoring to help ensure people were satisfied with their care and identify issues without delay.”

“The culture in the service was positive. The registered manager was open and transparent and welcomed feedback. Staff worked collaboratively with external professionals to assess, monitor and meet people’s healthcare needs.”
