This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is two stars – good service. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This Key Inspection was to check that the home meets the standards that the Care Quality Commission say are the most important for the people who use the services, and that it does what the Care Standards regulations say it must. This inspection was conducted in one inspection day. During the inspection, a number of records were looked at, including care records of people who use the service, along with staff recruitment and training records. The medication system was also looked at. Time was spent with people living at Melbourne Lodge and there was discussion about their lives. Discussion also took place with the manager and staff. The manager has completed the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA), the services self-assessment of how well they think they are meeting standards. This was received prior to the inspection and some of information has been reflected within the report to support the judgements made. We have reviewed our practise when making requirement to improve national consistency. Some regulations from previous inspection reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations, but only when it is considered that people who use the services are not being put at risk or harm. In future if a requirement is repeated it is likely that enforcement action will be taken. What the service does well:
Melbourne Lodge provides people with a safe and comfortable environment in which to live. The home is a good place for people to live, there is a positive atmosphere and clearly very good relationships. People are provided with a good standard of care by understanding and supportive staff who ensure consultation takes place. People said, “I have a good keyworker and I am more confident since being here”. “I have a periodic assessment with my keyworker, there is discussion about how I am doing, I have read my assessment and understood it and I have signed it”. Staff are well trained, have the necessary knowledge and skill for their job roles and are very positive about the work they do. Staffing levels are

When entries are handwritten on the medication administration records (MAR), there is the need for it to be signed and checked by two people. The temperature of the room in which the medication is stored needs to be monitored to ensure that medication is being stored at the correct temperature.
