Caring

Inadequate

Updated 19 November 2024

We identified a breach of regulations in relation to dignity and respect. Systems and processes were not in place to ensure people received care and support that met their needs and wishes. People’s human rights were not upheld because people had not been supported to make decisions in line with the Mental Capacity Act. Language in one person’s care plan was not dignified.

Kindness, compassion and dignity

Score: 1

While the people we spoke to expressed that they were generally happy with their care, our assessment found care did not meet the expected standards. For example, there was no systems in place to monitor the quality of care provided by staff.

We could not collect evidence under this category from the registered manager as they would not engage with us throughout the assessment. We asked the business manager if we could review the daily records, however they told us we could not as they did not have access to them. We could not be assured that people were treated with kindness, compassion and dignity.
