What the care home does well

The home provides a comfortable and homely environment that is clean and hygienic. Communication between the Registered Provider and the residents was comfortable and friendly.

Residents are aware of issues regarding health and safety including fire procedures and informing the Registered Provider when they leave and return to the home.

What the care home could do better:

Medication administration is to alter slightly, regarding handing medication to residents immediately it is taken from the packs. The Registered Provider agreed to this. Training for the volunteer is to include first aid, moving and handling, fire safety, basic food hygiene and infection control. Some of this will be included in the NVQ; but the Registered Provider must ensure that any volunteer in the home is aware of the health, safety and welfare of residents, themselves and others that the training addresses.
