- The registered manager told us they were still working on these, so they had not been reviewed for everyone living at the service.
- Although improvements had been made to the infection control procedures, we found some areas that still needed to be addressed to ensure people were safe from the spread of infection.
- Further improvements were needed to the systems in place to administer medicines safely to make sure people received their medicines safely and as prescribed.

The company behind Stonesby House LTD

At Companies House, the company is listed as active, its accounts are filed on time, it has 2 active directors and there is no insolvency history.
Its registered business activity is care for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems or substance misuse, residential care for older and disabled people and social work without accommodation for older and disabled people (which includes home care).
Stonesby House Ltd runs 2 CQC-registered services; 0 of the 2 with a rating are Good or Outstanding (0%), against 83% for the same mix of services across England.

CQC has published 6 overall ratings for it (2016–2021), starting at Good; it has gone up 1 and down 2 times, and is now Requires improvement.
No new overall rating has been published for 5 years. CQC re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating is not a bad sign in itself, but staff and management may have changed.
