What the care home does well

The home is well managed and the management structure within the home provided stability and continuity of care. There are good arrangements in place to ensure that the health, physical, social and emotional needs of the residents are met. The diverse needs of residents are also recorded and met. Activities in the home are flexible and mainly provided on a one to one basis. However group activities are also arranged and enjoyed. Staff recruitment and development is good. All staff spoken to stated that they liked working in the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection the statement of purpose has been rewritten and is available to all residents. This now includes a copy of the most recent inspection report. The manager has now been registered with The Commission for Social Care Inspection. Residents now have more choice in how they spend their time. And daily records are kept of the activities undertaken. The kitchen has been refitted and the residents now have free access to allow them to make drinks at any time of the day or night. The standard of the environment has greatly improved and the external walls and windows were being painted during the inspection.

What the care home could do better:

The home continues to provide a good standard of care and support for the residents living there. Currently there is no provision for residents to be able to lock their personal belongings for safekeeping. A requirement has been accordingly. Keys are also to be provided for resident`s bedroom doors to promote privacy and independence. Bedrooms have been recently refurbished, however four bedrooms were identified to have shower units in a state of disrepair and need to be replaced. The ceiling tiles in the dining room are water stained and need to be replaced. During a discussion with the manager resident`s mobility was addressed. In view of the changing mobility needs of some residents a recommendation has been made to consider the instillation of a chair of shaft lift in the future.
