The CQC report said patients had areas to go if they needed some quiet time, but people’s leave from the hospital grounds was sometimes cancelled due to understaffing.
It said families and carers were kept informed, knew who to speak to if they had concerns and were invited to relevant meetings about their loved ones.
The CQC said the hospital’s rating for being “safe and responsive” had gone up from “inadequate” to “requires improvement”, with the “caring, effective and well-led” category remaining “inadequate”.
In a statement, the NHS trust said: “The CQC inspection relates to a time when Cheswold Park Hospital was run by Riverside Healthcare.
“We will ensure that learning opportunities presented by the CQC inspection are followed through and that we help the hospital move forward in its improvement journey.”
