What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The home provides a sensitive and caring environment that seeks to meet the individual needs of the service users. The quality assurance monitoring of the service with an action plan ensures that there is adequate follow up to improve the quality of life of service users. Staff interviewed and interaction observed confirmed that staff had a good understanding of service users` needs and were able to offer individual choice and support. The care is person centred and a number of initiatives have been introduced to promote independence and participation in activities. The interaction and consultation between staff and the manager demonstrated that the team was cohesive.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has implemented most of the requirements including those, which were made after this inspection. The Care manager updated the inspector after this inspection on the implementation of the fire officer`s and Environmental health officer`s requirements. The first floor landing door is now effectively self- closing. Staff have had fire safety training and risk assessments from identified fire hazards have been completed. A fire risk assessment as advised on this visit has been completed.

What the care home could do better:

The communal space shared by 7 service users and staff is cramped. In a home where some service users have challenging behaviours, service users would benefit from having a choice of seating areas. The dining area cannot accommodate all of the service users at the same time. The windows are not double-glazed and on a main road this means that noise can interfere with sleep patterns and contribute to challenging behaviours. The requirements from the Environmental Health officer relating to an asbestos survey, update of light fittings in corridors, extensive refurbishment are outstanding.
