2021-04-24Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementThe service received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because of significant failures in risk assessment and management, particularly regarding pressure care, and inadequate governance and oversight. While staff were caring and infection control procedures were appropriate, the absence of a registered manager combined with ineffective quality assurance systems meant risks to people's safety were not being properly identified or mitigated.
