Governance, management and sustainability
The provider did not always have clear responsibilities, roles, systems of accountability or good governance.
The provider's governance and oversight processes had not consistently identified all areas requiring improvement. For example, some issues relating to incident management, medicines practices and staff training had not been fully identified through existing quality assurance systems.
The provider had recognised some areas for development and had begun to take action; however, these changes had not been in place long enough to demonstrate sustained improvement. As a result, it was too soon to determine their overall impact on the quality and safety of people's care.
The registered manager acknowledged the findings from the inspection and provided assurances that action would be taken to address them. Following the inspection, the provider described plans to strengthen governance arrangements through enhanced auditing and monitoring processes, more robust oversight of incidents and care records, and additional staff training and support. These actions were intended to improve oversight, promote learning and support the delivery of safe, effective and person-centred care.
