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

The service clearly operates a open door policy, this was demonstrated during the inspection as the office door was closed for a period of time and a service user knocked on the door to make sure staff were OK. Comments received from service users were `staff are very fair`, `I am happy in the home`, `I choose the colour of my room`. The Registered Manager is keen to work alongside the CSCI and during the inspection the inspector identified areas which required improvement in two service users risk assessments, the Registered Manager immediately corrected this and produced the required paperwork prior to the completion of the inspection.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The Registered Manager has begun work on including people`s equality and diversity issues in the pre assessment documentation in the home. Risk assessments have been improved and are more comprehensive. Improvements have also been made to the medication administration records and instruction for as required medicines are now included. Care plans have been developed to ensure all care and health needs are identified and staff demonstrated they had a clear understanding of service user`s needs and the best way to support them. People`s records are now stored securely to ensure confidentiality. The complaints procedure has been updated. The building has undergone a full refurbishment and every service user`s bedroom has been redecorated. Staff recruitment files were found to be in good order and the application for employment has been updated. Evidence was supporting to show staff have began to receive regular supervision. The inspector found evidence to suggest that the home has notified the appropriate outside agencies in relation to incidents in the home, and demonstrated that they could produce a plan following this to safeguard individual people until a issue had been resolved. However in consultation with community professionals there was some concern that a historic issue in the home had not been reported and this had come to light following a recent safeguarding alert raised by the home. The Registered Provider now undertakes regular visits to the home to ensure the required standard of care is being provided.

What the care home could do better:

The Registered Manager must ensure that all incidents of notice are reported to the relevant body in a timely manner. The Registered Manager should ensure that the historical information kept in service users care plans is removed and stored securely, and that all risks including historical ones are included in, or made mention to in thecurrent risk assessments. The Registered Manager must ensure continued work is done to encouraging residents to become involved in activities on offer both within the home and the community such as education, and where appropriate, employment opportunities. Service user`s agreement to involvement with household chores should be recorded individually.
