Alsley Lodge

Alsley Lodge provides accommodation and personal care for up to 33 people, with 31 residents living there at the time of inspection. Inspectors identified concerns with systems for managing risks to people's health and safety, and found that medicine management could be improved. A recommendation was made regarding staff competencies in handling medicines. While recruitment practices were generally satisfactory, the employment process for one staff member fell short of standards, leading to a recommendation that thorough employment checks be conducted for all new staff before appointment.
