Requires improvement

Updated 26 April 2024

Date of assessment: 27 November 2024 to 11 February 2025. The site visit took place on 27 November 2024, and we continued to speak with people, relatives and staff and request records from the provider up to 11 February 2025. There was a registered manager in place at the time of our inspection, however, they left their role after the inspection and another manager was in the process of applying to register with us. The inspection took place as we received concerns about people’s care we wanted to follow up on. We only inspected the key questions of safe and well-led at this inspection. Some people had clear care plans and guidance for staff in place; however, this was not always consistent. The provider had worked to improve information contained within people’s and staff records, since our previous inspections; however, further improvements were still needed.

People's experience of the service

Updated 26 April 2024

People were happy with the care and support they received. People told us overall they had the same staff supporting them; therefore, they got to know one another and people felt safe with them. One person said, “They [staff] are lovely, they do everything I want that they can.” Calls were overall on time. People were positive about the support they received, for those supported with medicines they felt they received these as needed and confirmed staff updated their records with the support provided at each call.
