Points to consider
Staff and residents sometimes wait for help because there are not always enough carers around, like no one in the lounges.
there were periods of time during the day when there was no staff member visible to support people if required. This increased the risk of unobserved falls
Records for medication and mouth care have gaps so it's not clear if care was always done right.
One person’s care records did not evidence they had received support with oral care on 19 out of 29 days we checked in April 2024... records did not always show medicines had been managed appropriately.
Cleaning is not always thorough in spots like table tops and bedding.
There were some areas of the home where cleaning needed to be improved. This included table tops, shelving and stained bedding.
