Despite previous warnings, inspectors found outdated records, missed health changes, and no formal system for assessing mental capacity or securing proper consent. While some users praised the staff’s kindness, younger patients and those with learning disabilities reported lower satisfaction, and no clear plan exists to address these gaps.
