From the latest CQC inspection

Systems and processes did not fully support people's safety as risk assessments lacked detail and care plans had not been updated to reflect changes in the support offered and changes in the times of care calls.
The person expressed their views to the provider, who was also the registered manager, on a regular basis.
However, there was limited evidence of how this was used to drive improvement.
Complaints were acknowledged but were not always addressed in a professional way.
