People's experience.
The service was previously rated as ‘good’. This inspection found that the service retained its rating of ‘good’ in all areas. This means that people using the service received an effective service which was responsive to any changing needs. We found the service was managed safely and people were treated with care and respect. The good quality of care had positive outcomes for people using the service. More information is detailed the full report.
The service had a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
Rating at last inspection:
Good (report published 14 September 2016)
Why we inspected:
We previously published our inspection in September 2016. It is CQC methodology to re-inspect ‘Good’ providers within a 30 month timescale. This inspection was completed as planned. We received information of concern from the Food Standards Agency (FSA). At our inspection we checked these concerns and found the provider was making progress from issues identified from the FSA report and found people were not placed at risk.
Follow up:
No concerns were raised within this inspection. We will therefore aim to re-inspect this service within 30 months. We will continue to monitor the service through the information we receive.
