"Staff feel supported in a rewarding team with enough people on shift, but medicines handling errors, unassessed risks and weak governance hold it back."
Medicines records were not always accurately completed, so there was a risk medicines would not be handled safely. Risks to people were not always assessed, placing people at risk of harm or injury.
Staff said they enjoyed working at the home and felt listened to and supported in their role. Comments included; 'It's a rewarding job, I like helping people and we've got a lovely team'.
There were enough staff to meet people's needs. The provider used a dependency tool to calculate staffing levels. These records showed the home was staffing above the required minimum.
We found systems to assess, monitor and improve the service were not sufficiently robust. This was a continued breach of regulation 17 (Good governance).
We saw some lovely staff interactions and people enjoying activities and entertainment.
Medication records have errors and risks like falls are not always fully assessed or fixed, so safety isn't reliable.
Medicines records were not always accurately completed, so there was a risk medicines would not be handled safely. One person had experienced 12 falls in a 10 month period. The falls risk assessment showed only 4 falls.
Quality checks and audits miss big issues and don't lead to quick fixes, so management oversight is weak.
Quality audits were not always effective in identifying or securing improvements. Quality assurance systems were not always effective in looking at the wider picture.
No activities programme or coordinator mentioned, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
