Inadequate

Updated 19 November 2024

We identified a breach of regulations in regard to person centred care. Systems and processes were not in place to ensure people received person centred care. Care plans failed to consider people’s wishes regarding their end of life care. The registered manager failed to provide us with information regarding people’s care and support and therefore we could not be assured people were able to access their own information.

This service scored 32 (out of 100) for this area. Find out what we look at when we assess this area and How we calculate these scores.
