| 2019-10-31 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | The service received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because whilst care was safe and caring, there were significant failures in how the Mental Capacity Act was being applied. Restrictive practices, including restricting access to the kitchen and requiring a person to go to their room when distressed, were not properly assessed or documented as being in people's best interests, representing a breach of regulations. Additionally, record-keeping gaps meant oversight of care delivery and the impact of policy changes was ineffective, and some new policies had not been properly embedded by staff. |
