Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2016-03-08Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementThe Sycamores received a 'Requires improvement' rating because of failures in safeguarding procedures, record-keeping, and leadership oversight. Whilst staff were caring and the service was effective in many areas, critical gaps in investigating a medicines error and maintaining accurate, detailed care records meant people were at risk of inappropriate or unsafe care. The quality assurance systems failed to identify these problems before inspection.
