We spent two days in the home, looking at care records and speaking with people and staff. The home was led by a registered manager and there were good systems in place to ensure the home operated effectively. Risks to people’s health and wellbeing were assessed and managed well. Medicines were safe. The registered manager and staff told us they had worked hard on things they needed to improve. One member of staff summed up their journey of improvement when they said, “The registered manager knows this home inside out and back to front. They are determined to turn this place around and I am backing them wholeheartedly.”
