What the care home does well
Residents are cared for in a safe, well-maintained, homely environment by staff who are aware of their needs. People who live at the home feel that the home provides good quality food and a varied menu.
What has improved since the last inspection?
This is the first inspection so it is not possible to see where improvements have been made.
What the care home could do better:
The home needs to ensure that care plans telling staff what care the resident requires contain more detailed information regarding individual needs and identify any potential risks to the resident or the staff. Monthly reviews of the planned care had been carried out but these did not contain enough detail to show whether or not there had been any changes in peoples needs. Although an activities coordinator provides social stimulation the home there needs be a formal activities programme that includes appropriate activities for the different people who live at the home. Inductions must be provided to all new staff to show that the home has provided them with important information concerning the running of the home and the care they will be providing. Further training and support needs to be provided to make sure that staff have sufficient knowledge to enable them to provide a good standard of care and protection to the residents living at the home. This includes topics such as adult protection, dementia, physical disabilities and palliative care.Bunkers Hill Care Home DS0000061947.V284133.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6The home needs to improve the way it records resident`s money held in safe keeping by the home as one record contained inaccurate information. It was also recommended that two people sign for each entry, as this will provide extra security. Two other recommendations were made. One was regarding the monitoring of medications so that residents are not without prescribed medication for any length of time. The other refers to a falls risk assessment being completed to monitor the number of falls in the home and determine if these can be minimised.
