Mrs Ann Peace Regulatory Inspector carried out this unannounced fieldwork inspection on 7th November 2006. This is the first inspection for the year 20062007. It is called a key inspection and will determine the frequency of visits/inspections hereafter. Prior to the inspection, records held on file and information received from the home since the last inspection were reviewed and comments from relatives and other professionals taken into account. During this inspection the Inspector toured the building, visited the majority of rooms, and joined the residents in the lounge areas. The Inspector talked to the Manager, members of staff, residents and visitors. The Inspector examined records about care being provided to residents; as well as records of any accidents, or concerns or complaints, to make sure that the residents at Belle Vue Country House are being taken care of. Due to the mental frailty of the majority of the residents it was not possible to engage in meaningful conversation. However from their demeanour and interactions with the staff team, the inspector concluded that they were relaxed and content in their environment. The Inspector was able to speak to relatives who were visiting the home and take into account comments from relatives that are recorded in the home’s quality assurance survey report. Some comments were: “Staff are approachable and friendly and they look after my husband very well”. “My husband is always clean, well dressed and comfortable”. “Staff are welcoming, friendly and caring”. “ Very approachable”. “Nursing staff attend without delay and show extreme care and thoughtfulness”. During this visit, the Registered Manager and staff assisted the inspector. The inspector would like to thank them all. One requirement made at the two previous inspections has not been complied with and this is carried over. This requirement is in respect of Regulation twenty-six reports of visits that should be made by the Responsible Individual. Since the previous inspection the Commission had received no complaints for Social Care Inspection.
