The challenge
This home had received a Requires Improvement rating overall with an Inadequate rating in the Safe domain. The CQC had identified serious concerns around medicines management, risk assessments, and safeguarding practices. The provider was under pressure to demonstrate rapid improvement and there was a real risk of further enforcement action if the Safe domain was not addressed urgently.
The outcome
Within four months, we worked intensively with the team to overhaul medicines management processes, rebuild risk assessments, and strengthen safeguarding practice across the home. Staff received targeted training and new audit processes were put in place to ensure improvements were sustained. The home achieved a Good rating across all domains at the follow-up inspection.
The challenge
Rated RI with Inadequate in Safe. Serious concerns around medicines management, risk assessments, and safeguarding. Risk of further enforcement action.
The outcome
Good rating across all domains within four months. Medicines, risk assessments, and safeguarding all overhauled.
We were in a really difficult position and they helped us turn it around quickly. The Safe domain went from Inadequate to Good in four months.
