Key points from CQC's visit

  • Assessments were in place to identify risks that impacted on people's lives and well-being.
  • We found risk management plans did not always provide staff with detailed guidance on how to support people safely to reduce those risks.
  • The registered manager did not always effectively review and monitor the service and care workers to ensure people received care and support that was of a good standard.
  • Infection prevention and control practices did not consider national guidance to reduce the risks of infection.
