Infection prevention and control procedures were not always followed and the environment needed to be updated. Robust systems for determining people’s capacity was not in place. The quality of all records reviewed need to be updated. An ineffective system of quality assurance was in place.

After the inspection, we wrote to the provider to outline our concerns about the service and asked them to provide us with an immediate action plan about the improvements they were going to make to become at least Good. We asked the provider to share an updated action plan each month to allow us to monitor the progress the service was making. We also issued a notice of decision to restrict admissions into the service.

We rated the service to be Requires Improvement at the last inspection. In line with our guidance, we met with the provider, registered manager, Redcar and Cleveland local authority, Middlesbrough local authority and South Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to discuss the action the provider was going to take to become at least Good.

Since the last inspection we received concerns in relation to suitably trained staff, nutrition, hydration and leadership. As a result, we undertook this focused inspection to look into those concerns. This report only covers our findings in relation to those topics. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for (location's name) on our website at www.cqc.org.uk.

At this inspection on 17 October 2018 we identified that some progress had been made to improve the overall quality of the service.

There were shortfalls in all areas of training, supervision and appraisal. Planned dates were in place for some areas of training.

Improvements to medicines were needed. There were gaps in records and medicines were not always available when people needed them. Infection prevention and control procedures were not followed.
