From the latest CQC inspection
- One person received support from the service with the regulated activity of personal care on the day of the inspection.
- We must protect the person's rights to a private life so the report will provide an overview of the care received by the person rather than specific examples.
- Risk assessments in place did not contain enough information to guide staff on how to support the person safely, however, staff knew the person using the service well.
- The provider's audits and oversight of the service had not identified the areas of concern we found during the inspection.
