2023-01-27Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementOptimist Care Ltd received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because of significant gaps in recruitment practices and quality assurance systems that could pose risks to people using the service. While staff were caring and people's needs were generally met, the service lacked robust governance and monitoring processes to ensure safety and effectiveness, particularly around staff induction, medicines management audits, and risk assessments.
