From the latest CQC inspection

  • We found the management of the service did not have effective and tested systems to respond to safeguarding concerns and when people had accidents and incidents such as falls.
  • There was also a practice of staff being removed from individuals' rotas when people complained rather than investigate and take actions such as revisit staff training.
  • The registered manager and provider were not effectively assessing the quality of care to spot problems and act to fix them.
