The service is a care home providing support for up to 63, including those living with acquired brain injury, early onset dementia, mental health support needs and older people living with dementia. At the time of the inspection 62 people were living at St Mary's Continuing Care. This was a responsive assessment due to concerns we received about the administration of medicines and peoples safety.We found two breaches of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 in relation to medicines and good governance. Governance systems were not always effective enough to monitor and improve the quality of the service regarding medicines and care records. The service has been rated requires improvement following this assessment. The provider supported staff wellbeing and staff felt supported to give feedback and were treated equally, free from bullying or harassment. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities. Leaders were visible and supportive, helping staff develop in their roles. From the concerns highlighted during this inspection no service user came to any harm.
