During an assessment under our new approach
Date of Assessment: 6 August 2025 to 11 August 2025. The service is a residential care home providing support to people over 65 years old, including people living with dementia. At the time of this inspection, there were 65 people living at the home.
We found there were systems in place to assess the level of staff required to support people according to their needs. However people, relatives and staff shared mixed feedback about staffing levels. We shared this feedback with the management team and after our visit we were informed staffing levels were increased. We made a recommendation about staffing.
Overall, medicines were well managed, and we did not find any medication errors. However, we identified some areas where medication records needed to improve. We made a recommendation about medicines management.
People told us they felt safe. We found risks to people’s care were assessed and appropriate plans put in place to manage those risks.
The provider had a good learning culture and people, relatives and staff felt able to raise concerns. Accidents and incidents were being recorded, patterns analysed, and actions taken. The facilities and equipment met people’s needs, were clean and well-maintained.
Managers ensured staff received training and regular supervision to maintain high-quality care. Staff told us they felt well supported by management.
Care was delivered to people in a person-centred way. Staff treated people with respect for their dignity and human rights.
