What the care home does well

The residents are cared for in homely and comfortable surroundings by a caring staff team. The home provides a range of activities on a regular basis. From observation, the staff and residents seem to enjoy warm and friendly relationships, with photographs on the wall demonstrating some good social occasions that have been enjoyed in the home. A relative commented that `the staff are welcoming and cheerful, they appear to take an interest in my relatives welfare`

What has improved since the last inspection?

Following the last inspection it was recommended that the home should ensure that all staff are appropriately trained, including First Aid and Moving and Handling, the inspector was unable to assess the results of the recommendation during this visit.

What the care home could do better:

Some practices in the home need reviewing, such as expecting everyone to be downstairs for breakfast at 9am. Residents choices, likes and dislikes should be documented, so that all staff are informed.Several action points have been raised following this visit and include reviewing and updating the care plan documentation, reviewing and updating all policies and procedures, the need for staff training in adult protection and for the recruitment practices to be updated and followed.
