Points to consider
No permanent manager registered with the regulator yet, so leadership oversight has big gaps.
The manager was new in post. They had commenced their application to register with CQC.
Safety risks from poor medication handling, missing risk assessments, and unreported safeguarding concerns.
Medicines were not always managed safely. Where people were prescribed thickeners, there was contradictory guidance... We identified a safeguarding event which had not been reported to the local authority.
Staffing is adequate but staff feel rushed with no time to chat with residents properly.
we saw staff were rushed at times and focused on tasks... Comments from staff included, 'There is not as much time to chat with residents as we would like.'
