This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection was unannounced and commenced at 09.30a.m. and lasted just over six hours. It was carried out by talking with three service users present at the home, the manager, staff on duty, case tracking two service users, observation of some work practices, examination of a number of records and a tour of all three bungalows. 21 key National Minimum Standards for younger adults were assessed during this inspection in addition to Standards 1,5,38 and 41 and a quality rating provided based on each outcome area for service users. These ratings are described as excellent/good/adequate or poor based on findings of the inspection. The service users, staff and managers were very welcoming and co-operated fully throughout the inspection. Since the last inspection one complaint has been received by the home with a satisfactory outcome. No complaints have been referred to the Commission for Social Care Inspection and there has been one referral made under adult protection procedures. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
