The inspection, summarised

  • The providers' quality assurance and governance systems had improved under the consistent leadership of the registered manager, who came into post after the last inspection in September 2022.
  • Whilst there had been improvements, there were still areas of care delivery, and documentation that needed to be improved and embedded into everyday practice.
  • This relates to food and fluid records, oral health, and the updating of the mental capacity assessments.
  • There were suitably trained staff deployed, but the numbers of staff on duty had not always ensured peoples' needs were met consistently.

Inspected 31 May 2023; report published 28 June 2023; supporting 40 people at the time. Quoted from the CQC report summary, Open Government Licence. Read the full report.
