Also see our care home review for Malmesbury House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 15th May 2006.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Resident`s views are continually sought to improve the service the home provides. This is maintained by the use of monthly meetings. The registered manager informed the inspector that questionnaires have been implemented and sent out to families for feedback on the services provided in the home. However this was some time ago and needs to be conducted once again. The inspector spoke with a relative who stated that she was satisfied with the care her relative received. The relative also stated that she would speak with the manager or deputy manager if she had any concerns.

What has improved since the last inspection?

It was difficult for the inspector to evaluate any improvements to the home due to the fact it would appear that action taken for improvements had not materialised. A considerable amount of money has been spent on having CCTV fitted. However, the current process is infringing on the residents privacy. Management have agreed to stop further work being completed.

What the care home could do better:

A quality audit needs to be undertaken in the home on a regular monthly basis this needs to be carried out by the responsible individual or a representative. It would be highly recommended that management of the home check for any areas needing attention are regularly maintained and a record be held on file. It was disappointing that there were a number of ongoing areas that require attention. The management of the home needs to review their performance and should ensure the National Minimum Standards for Older People and the Care Homes Regulations 2001 are followed at all times.

For details of how each standard was met please refer to the main body of the report. It was disappointing to note that a number of areas in the home were in need of work to be carried out. The site visit was unannounced, which meant that visitors, staff and residents were not aware of the visit prior to it commencing. The inspector had the opportunity to speak with a number of residents who live at the home. The majority were very complimentary about the home and staff. A full tour of the premises was undertaken. Four care plans were observed. There were three members of staff and the manager and deputy manager on duty with eighteen residents in the home at the time of arrival. All members of staff were spoken with during the visit as well as the Community Nurse; an Assistant community nurse a relative and the visiting Optician. A number of comment cards were left for residents and relatives to complete and requested they be returned to Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI). Mrs V Bulbeck, Lead Inspector for the service carried out the site visit. Mrs M Gajraj the Registered Manager of the home was present. The home is registered for nineteen places. There are currently eighteen residents living in the home. The staff was observed to be courteous and the atmosphere within the home was relaxed and friendly. The inspector would like to thank the residents and staff for their co-operation and hospitality during the inspection. The residents living in the home wish to be called residents, therefore service users will be referred to as residents throughout the report. An improvement plan must be submitted to the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) with dates and timescales regarding the requirements made at the site visit on 15/05/06.
