What CQC's inspectors reported
- Risks for people were not identified, recorded and mitigated in relation to their care and support needs.
- Not all staff who administered people's medication had achieved up to date medication training and care plans did not clearly and accurately document the level of medicine support required.
- People were placed at risk of harm as staff recruitment checks continued not to be safe.
- People's call times were inconsistent, and this placed them at risk of not receiving their care and support as they should.
