What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

We found that the service supports the staff it employs to complete national vocational qualifications. We found that they use an external training company to complete induction standards produced by Skills for Care. This means that staff employed by the service do understand how to protect and meet the needs of vulnerable people. We found that staff are provided with safeguarding training so they understand how to protect people from harm.

What the care home could do better:

We found that although there was recording of incidents which occur in the home, the providers did not always consider whether they should be notifying the commission of these incidents. We also found that not all staff have received training in how to support people with physical and verbal aggression although staff had completed challenging behaviour training.
