At the time of our inspection there were 56 people using the service. All bedrooms have en-suite facilities. There is a large communal lounge, a dining room, and a garden. Inspection activity started on 2 October 2024 and ended on 09 October 2024. We carried out the site visit on 3 October 2024. We gave the service 24 hours’ notice of the inspection. This was because we wanted to make sure someone would be available to support us with the inspection. We looked at 15 quality statements as part of this assessment; learning culture, safe systems, pathways and transitions, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe environments, safe and effective staffing, infection prevention and control, medicines optimisation, shared direction and culture, capable, compassionate and inclusive leaders, freedom to speak up, workforce equality, diversity and inclusion, governance, management and sustainability, partnerships and communities, and, listening, improvement and innovation. The last rating for the service was requires improvement, published on 24 April 2023. This inspection was carried out to follow up on action we told the provider to take at the last inspection. We found improvements had been made since our last inspection and the service had met the breaches relating to regulation 12.
