What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection improvements have been made to the care planning system to ensure that reviews are undertaken on a regular basis. A review had been undertaken and that sufficient occasional tables in communal areas have been provided for residents. Improvements have been made regarding hygiene and the eradication of offensive odours. The manager assured the inspector that the staff call system is in full working order.

What the care home could do better:

Residents` welfare would be better protected by improvements to the systems for record keeping regarding fire procedures, residents` cash transactions and fridge, freezer and hot food temperatures. Residents` activities could be better reflected by recording in greater detail. Amendments to recruitment records and the system for quality assurance could better reflect residents` protection.
