Points to consider
No permanent manager in place since 2021, leading to weak oversight.
The service has not had a manager registered since January 2021. A new manager had been appointed who we were advised would be applying to be the registered manager.
Medication not always handled safely, with delays in giving eye drops and poor stock checks.
We identified 2 people did not always receive their prescribed eye drops in a timely manner. For example, 1 person was prescribed eye drops on 20 September 2023, but only had these administered 27 days later.
New staff do not get proper induction training like the Care Certificate.
newly recruited staff did not always have a comprehensive induction programme comprising of the Care Certificate. The provider was unable to provide evidence that staff had completed the Care Certificate.
