Ayrshire House DS0000002322.V327894.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection was unannounced and took into account any previous information held by CSCI including the home’s previous inspection reports, its service history, pre-inspection questionnaires completed by the Manager and residents’ questionnaires sent to the home by the Commission prior to the inspection. The site inspection took place over two hours and consisted of case tracking a sample of residents’ records and assessing the care given. Some policies and procedures were examined and some records concerning the safety of the home were also seen. Three residents and two care staff were spoken with. On the day of the inspection a staff member was in charge of the home and was present throughout the inspection. At the time of the inspection the home confirmed that the weekly fees ranged from £392, depending on the assessed needs of the resident. All present residents were charged £392. Additional charges are made for services such as chiropody and hairdressing. Information about these costs as well as the day-to-day operation of the home, including a copy of the last inspection report is available in the reception area or the manager’s office. What the service does well:
The home provides a homely, family atmosphere for the residents. The building is decorated and maintained to a good standard internally and the garden provides an attractive setting with plenty of seating for residents to sit out in good weather. Residents made positive comments about the home; one said ‘they look after me well’ and another said ‘I like living here’. Residents were very relaxed with staff members and each other and were able to exercise a lot of choice as to what they wanted to do throughout the day. A feedback letter from a visitor read’ ‘I was impressed by the caring and friendly nature of both residents and staff here – it’s refreshing to visit somewhere with a bright and happy atmosphere’. The staff group is very stable and the resident group has also been stable for many years; this has allowed a beneficial and trusting relationship to develop between staff and residents.
