Overall inspection

Good

Updated 22 January 2019

We rated The Manor Clinic as Good because:

  • Staff completed comprehensive assessments prior to admission and completed care plans with clients on the first day in the service. Clients felt involved in their care and treatment.
  • Staff felt supported and respected. Staff were passionate about the service that was delivered. Morale amongst staff was good, sickness and turnover of staff was low and the team worked well together.
  • Staff worked with National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guidelines. Staff supported clients in line with “Drug misuse and dependence: UK guidelines on clinical management (2017)”.
  • The service had a range of staff to support clients’ recovery. Staff were skilled to carry out their roles. All staff received a comprehensive induction.
  • The service offered weekly family therapy which was free of charge and life-long. Therapists also provided a free of charge life-long after care service for clients.
  • The service had made adjustments for clients with disabilities. There were adjustments to two of the bedrooms and wheelchair accessible ramps throughout the ground floor. The service had developed easy read documents and large print documents for clients with visual impairment.

However:

  • Staff had not ensured that sufficient information regarding clients’ medical history and the current medicine prescription was available before treatment started.
  • The provider had not considered the confidentiality and safety of clients from ‘other patients’ attending the service as an outpatient.
  • Staff had not considered the safety of female clients sleeping in areas where there were male clients.
  • Staff did not document clear rationale for risk ratings in clients’ risk assessments.
  • Staff did not report disclosures of historical abuse to the local authority safeguarding team.
  • Clients’ records were kept in paper format and electronic format and the current system was confusing and disorganised.
