What the care home does well

The staff team were focussed upon the resident`s needs, care and support. It was clearly evident to the Inspector that each individual needs were well known and in many instances anticipated. Interactions with residents were conducted both skilfully and with empathy. The Inspector heard and witnessed staff encouraging and facilitating residents to exercise choice and make personal decisions. Staff confirmed that they were supported by management and encouraged and enabled to extend their knowledge and skills. The Authority provides and encourages annual training/updates of core skills and progression towards achieving National Vocational Qualifications appropriate to the individual`s role.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The Authority has continued with the programme of refurbishment and redecoration of the home. Residents confirmed their involvement in choosing colours and materials in both communal areas and their individual bedrooms. There has been a substantial investment in upgrading/re-equipping the sluice area, protecting radiator surfaces, fitment of UPVC windows, renewal of electrical fittings, partial re-roofing, resurfacing paths, providing handrails, providing a readily accessed patio/barbecue area, re-carpeting, redecoration of some bedrooms and communal areas, new TV sets, set-top boxes and window blinds. Staff had compiled a written policy to ensure "obtaining consent" of residents was conducted in a safe and professional manner.

What the care home could do better:

Mr Bishop the home manager confirmed the Authority`s plans to continue with the redecoration and refurbishment of Don View. The day care unit continues to impact upon the daily life of residents. Access to the Day-unit is via Don View. Day Care users walk past a number of resident`s bedrooms and bathing/toilet facilities. This impacts upon Don View resident`s quality of life. There are no bathing facilities within the Day Care Unit. Toilet facilities within the Day Care Unit are inadequate for any person who requires assistance or uses mobility aids. Persons attending the day unit who require bathing or who need access to toilet facilities for the disabled currently use facilities within Don View. This is unacceptable.
