2023-11-25Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementValmark House received a rating of 'Requires Improvement' because governance systems were not sufficiently effective to ensure consistent oversight of safety and quality. Although the registered manager and staff provided caring, responsive support with good outcomes for people, shortfalls in environmental risk management, infection control practices, and medicines administration were not being identified through quality assurance processes. Additionally, the registered manager lacked protected time to fulfil their role properly whilst also providing cover for another service.
