Date of assessment: 11 December 2025.
This assessment was completed to check necessary improvements had been made to address the issues identified during our previous assessment. Following that assessment, we took enforcement action to address breaches of the regulations relating to Deprivation of Liberties procedures and recruitment practices.
We assessed all aspects of the safe quality statement. The service is a care home providing support for up to 27 older people. At the time of our assessment 24 people were living at Chypons Residential Home.
Improvements were found at this assessment, and the provider was no longer in breach of these regulations. The registered manager understood the requirements of the Mental Capacity Act and necessary Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards applications had been made. Recruitment practices demonstrated appropriate pre-employment checks had been completed before new staff began work.
Staffing levels were sufficient to meet people’s needs and records showed planned staffing levels were routinely achieved. Staff were patient and kind and responded promptly to requests for assistance. Staff were confident people were safe and knew how to report safeguarding concerns should this become necessary.
Medicines were managed safely, and infection control procedures were effective.
