What the care home does well
The manager stated that the home continues to support residents to remain well and remain out of hospital. Independence is encouraged, although due to resident`s long-term mental health illnesses the manager said that these residents are not likely to be able to live independently in the community. The residents are encouraged to pursue their own interests and activities. Staff consults with residents in the life of the home and encourages residents to make choices about their lives. Community liaison with health and social care professionals is good and the health and social care needs of the residents are well met. The home provides comfortable and homely accommodation. The premises are kept to a good standard of cleanliness and bedrooms are personalised.
What has improved since the last inspection?
New furniture has been provided in the lounge. Information following recruitment of staff has improved.
What the care home could do better:
Individuals risk assessments must be detailed on resident`s files. The views of stakeholders and relatives must be sought as part of the organisation`s quality assurance system.
