| 2023-04-06 | Requires improvement | new | Unrated→Requires improvement | Acorn Hove received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because governance and recruitment systems were not robust, with breaches identified in safe recruitment procedures and quality assurance monitoring. Whilst staff provided good-quality, caring support and people felt safe and happy, the lack of a registered manager and inconsistent oversight meant systemic issues went undetected, including incomplete care plan reviews, inadequate incident monitoring, and missing recruitment checks. |
