"Staff feel supported in a positive culture with up-to-date training, but poor staffing levels, unsafe medicines management, and weak oversight hold it back."
Medicines were not always safely managed and accurate records were not being effectively maintained. There was insufficient oversight of risk
Staff spoke positively about these initiatives and told us they felt supported by the provider
people did raise concerns about staffing levels and we observed staff were not always available to provide support in a timely way
Staff completed a variety of training and were generally kept up to date. However, we were not assured the provider was following best practice guidelines in how they trained their staff
there had been insufficient oversight of the home to ensure the safety and quality of the service and the systems of checks in place had not identified all areas for improvement
Feedback from people and families was that there was not always enough to do
Not enough staff so you are always busy, call bells go unanswered for too long, and you can't spend proper time with residents
Call bell logs reflected that there were occasions where staff had not been able to respond to people quickly. One staff member commented “I would like more staff so we can spend time with people
Medication is not managed safely with wrong stock counts and missing records of doses given
We found several stock counts were incorrect and found 2 occasions where a medicine had not clearly been signed as given
Leadership oversight is poor so ongoing problems like unsafe risk management and medication errors are not fixed properly
The service was in continued breach of legal regulation in relation to the management of people’s safety and mitigation of risk and the safe management and administration of people’s medicines
