Key points from CQC's visit
- Improvement had been made to the environmental risks we identified at our last inspection, but some areas still required some on-going work.
- People's medicines were not always safely managed.
- People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service did not support this practice.
- People were supported to eat and drink but records did not always confirm how much people should be drinking to keep them well.
