Our view of the service
We completed a focused inspection on 13 October 2025 and held virtual meetings on 20 October 2025 to follow up concerns raised within the Section 29 Warning Notice issued on 1 May 2025.
As part of this focused inspection, we reviewed 2 quality statements: Safe Systems, Pathways and Transitions and Governance, management and sustainability. The ratings for safe and well led remain the same.
We found some improvements had been made in relation to safe care and treatment. However, at this inspection we found breaches of the regulations in relation to governance.
Care plans were not individualised and key details were missing. The service did not have clear governance oversight of patient care plans, medication required for use in an emergency or accessibility of lavatories for patients with a disability. Audits were not effective in identifying or addressing areas for improvement.
People's experience of this service
In the main, people felt they were receiving considerate support from competent staff. People we spoke with said staff were kind, and they were made to feel safe and secure. Whilst people expressed general satisfaction with their treatment, our assessment found elements of care which did not meet the expected standards.
