The Care Quality Commission is the official regulator for the care sector. They inspect care homes and care services to make sure they are safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. This means that they and the provider are legally responsible for how the service is run and for the quality and safety of the care provided. We will request an action plan from the provider to understand what they will do to improve the standards of quality and safety.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.

We are mindful of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our regulatory function. We will continue to monitor the service and will take further action if needed. Medicines were managed safely, and people received them as prescribed. People were supported to eat and drink enough and told us the food was good in Cornford House.
