What the care home could do better:

Plan social outings for service users without impacting on the routines of others where possible. Ensure that all records of complaints included the action taken to address them.Matters arising from observation and discussion included a need for some redecoration of some areas of the home. The organisation should act upon the requests to redecorate the hallway, kitchen/dining room and service users bedrooms. Staffing levels were adequate, providing two throughout the waking day staff a recruitment drive was reported to have been successful, it was hoped that the home will be fully staffed soon. Matters arising included the need to ensure that all staff were involved in fire drills, including bank staff. Fire safety risk assessments should be reviewed at least annually.

Discussion at the last inspection included a request for the provision of an additional communal area for the benefit of service users. It was established from discussion during this visit, that this request should continue to be considered by the service. As the difficult to manage behaviour of service users was reported to have an impact on the lifestyles of others. At these times service users were reported to choose to retire to their bedrooms as a short term solution this arrangement could be supported, but for prolonged episodes was not the ideal solution, as service users could become isolated.
