2022-04-27InadequatenewUnratedInadequateThe service declined from a 'Good' rating to 'Inadequate' due to serious breaches in safeguarding, safety management, and governance. The registered manager failed to report abuse incidents to the local authority, risks were not properly assessed or mitigated, staff had not received training since the pandemic began, and there was no robust quality assurance system to monitor care standards or identify shortfalls. Despite staff and relatives praising the caring nature of staff, the fundamental systems to protect people from harm were inadequate.
