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

Residents spoke highly of the staff team describing them as "smashing", "very obliging" and " all the staff are really nice to me". The staff team were observed to be carrying out their duties in a professional manner and were helpful in assisting the inspector during the inspection process. Residents appeared relaxed in their environment and were observed to be spending their day as they wished either in the lounge areas or within the privacy of their bedroom. Residents` individual needs were assessed and their changing needs were reflected in their plan of care. The care records checked were well organised and the information provided was accessible and easy to track. The grounds to the home were very well maintained, providing a safe and pleasant area for residents to sit during the summer months. A good range of training was available and over 50% of the staff team had achieved a National Vocational Qualification level 2 or 3 in care, enabling them to develop and promote good care practice.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The new owner has continued to improve the physical environment. Since the last visit the hallway carpet and floor covering within the kitchen had been replaced. Two bedrooms had been refurbished and that there were plans to redecorate several more. All previous requirements in relation to the environment had been met. The floor covering in one dining area had been replaced and one bathroom had been refurbished to a good standard. Due to the warm weather a wall mounted electric heater, in the conservatory area, was not in use. However, the staff confirmed that the heat setting had been readjusted to ensure that a consistent temperature was maintained for residents who chose to sit there during the winter months.

What the care home could do better:

The Staff were not always adhering to the homes safe administration of medication policy and procedure, which potentially could place residents at risk. A recruitment policy and procedure was in place, which promoted the protection of the residents. Staffs` employment files need to include the employees` full employment history to ensure that the residents are fully protected. Accident records required more detail to fully promote the health and wellbeing of the resident. Fire records need to be maintained to evidence that fire systems are checked at the required frequency.

The format in place was detailed and included the resident’s communication needs, dietary requirements and personal care needs. Risk assessments had been devised which identified the individual risks that were presented to residents and the action required by staff to reduce the potential risks to residents, promoting and maintaining their independence. Records of healthcare visits were maintained and demonstrated that residents were receiving regular visits from their general practitioner, chiropodist and optician. Residents said that their healthcare needs were met and described the visits that they received. One resident commented, “ I get new glasses every year”. In general residents surveyed said that they ‘always’ received the medical support that they needed. The receipt and storage of medication were found to be satisfactory.

Since the last visit the manager had set up her own audit of medicines at the home. The medication administration records (MAR) were generally well maintained and medication administered had been signed for. However, there were some discrepancies, which potentially could place residents at risk. The time of one prescribed medication for a resident had been changed without medical authorisation. On one MAR record checked paracetamol had not been administered for six days, as there was none in stock. Subsequent MAR records did indicate that the resident did take the paracetomol four times per day. The staff said that there had previously been problems in obtaining some medication however that the situation was now resolved. Residents were observed to be cared for in a manner that respected their privacy and dignity. Residents seen were clean, appropriately dressed and it was evident that residents who required help to wash and dress had been assisted with this in a manner that respected their dignity.
