Key Finding
"Good training and engaging activities, although unapproachable management and short night staffing are major concerns."
Safety & Risk
3/10
✕
Medicines were not always safely managed. We found instances where people had not received their prescribed medicines, on 3 occasions in April 2023, people's medicine records showed gaps in administrations.

We found the culture in the home was not always positive. Staff told us they felt they could not raise concerns due to issues with the registered manager not maintaining confidentiality and felt the manager had not acknowledged concerns raised.
