What the care home does well

The home offers a service which meets the specialist and complex needs of the service users who live there. The staff team are knowledgeable and work in harmony with a team of health care professionals. Service users at the home are happy there and have developed strong friendships with each other. There is a real sense of affection, trust and respect from service users and staff for everyone. Service user plans reflect individual choices and service users have taken the lead in the development of their own plans. The majority of the staff team have worked at the home for some time and there have been few staff changes, thus providing consistency and building on well established relationships.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A new service user has successfully moved to the home and has settled in. They told the Inspector that they were happy at the home. The staff team have worked closely with other professionals to offer support to meet changing needs. Service users and staff have worked together to develop and review individual plans. The service users have enjoyed a number of day trips and social events. The staff team have consistently shown a strong dedication to caring for each individual and providing the service that each person wants and needs.

What the care home could do better:

Over the past year there have been significant changes in need for individuals living at the home. The staff team have successfully adapted the service provision to meet these changing needs and are continuing to do so. Despite these changes the Registered Persons have continued to meet National Minimum Standards in the majority of areas. The Registered Person needs to review and make changes to the storage of some medication. In addition additional fire risk assessments need to be developed.
