Governance, management and sustainability

Score: 2

The provider had clear responsibilities, roles, systems of accountability and good governance. They used these to manage and deliver good quality, sustainable care, treatment and support. They acted on the best information about risk, performance and outcomes, and shared this securely with others when appropriate. Most of the concerns identified during this inspection had already been identified by the registered manager. Actions were in progress to address these issues and improve the quality of care provided. However, they were not yet embedded and audits had not identified all of the concerns we found such as the areas impacting people’s dignity such as the mealtime experience and language.
