The provider did not always manage or record complaints and concerns in line with its complaint’s procedure. Staff did not always record complaints or tell relatives what had changed to resolve any matter.

The registered manager told us there had not been any complaints or concerns raised. However, following discussions with people’s relatives it was clear that some concerns and issues had been raised in the past. These included concerns relating to communication.

Although issues and concerns were responded to, actions taken to resolve issues were not documented. Therefore, any responses and actions taken to rectify were not documented and any emerging themes were not recorded. The registered manager confirmed all complaints and issues raised would be recorded in the future.
