Inspectors said the care home had made improvements since then and is no longer in breach of regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance.
This included ensuring that the home was “clean and tidy throughout”, as well as identifying and mitigating environmental risks.
The inspectors wrote in their report: “People were protected from the risk of abuse, harm, or discrimination.
“Staff knew people well and understood the care and support required, and their medicines were managed safely.”
They added that there were “enough staff who had been safely recruited and received ongoing training and support”.
“Staff ensured they received support from appropriate health and social care professionals when they needed it,” the report said.
The report also commended staff for treating residents with “kindness and compassion”, as well as supporting them to make their own decisions and choices.
