What the care home does well
The staff on duty and the service users share good working relation and the service users enjoyed freedom of choice and expression. The staffs were aware of the assessed needs of service users. The service users were engaged in a variety of activities that helped them achieve independent living skills.
What has improved since the last inspection?
The manager had taken appropriate measure to ensure that the entire outstanding requirements were met and the staffs` morale was high. The manager and the staffs work as a good team. The home had launched two new initiatives. One in conjunction with other sister homes the managers would undertake regulation 26 visit of the other home to make observations, discuss with the service users`, staffs` and study records at the home during the visit. The second initiative was, the home had introduced series of dialogue meetings with staffs` to help them understand the national minimum standards and what each standard expects the home to deliver. As of now these initiatives seem to have helped in cross-pollination of good practice ideas and experiences and introduce changes that would improve care delivery and quality of life of the service users`.
What the care home could do better:
The home must undertake regular shampooing of the carpets in the lounge and the doorway. The home must continue to sustain all the efforts made to improve care delivery and achieve quality of life of service users`.
