What the care home does well

Service user`s views are continually sought to improve the service the home provides. Regular meetings are held with service users, records were seen and found to be well documented with an action plan to enable any suggestions or points of view to be actioned. The inspector spoke to the majority of service users; all were complimentary towards the staff, regarding the care provided and the staff team. Service users living in the home appeared to be happy; they were well dressed and some stated they enjoyed their lunch on the day of the site visit. Service users are able exercise their choice in the home, some of the service users are fairly independent and are able to go out alone and some with a member of staff. The inspector spoke with a number of staff on duty on the day of inspection; staff commented they feel supported by the management of the home and work as a stable team. The home was homely and welcoming and all areas in the home were nicely decorated and furnished. Some service users had some items of furniture in their bedrooms, which they had purchased since living in the home. Several service users commented the food served is very good.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The management of the home has promoted a stable staff team and very rarely any changes are made. The agency staff used is regular therefore know the service users well. A number of policies and procedures have been updated.

What the care home could do better:

The home`s management should ensure staff are aware of and use the National Minimum Standards for Older People and the Care Homes Regulations 2001 as a working tool. This will ensure that the quality outcomes for service users are being promoted at all times. There was an incident in the home in 2006 and the registered manager informed the inspector that the CSCI had been notified Records and care plan were observed and appropriate action was taken following the incident and letters and review of care was seen in the service users care records. A member of staff informed the inspector this was the second incident of this nature, and the registered manager has put closer supervision by the staff in place. However, management of the home need to ensure guidelines are in place for staff. All service users should be risk assessed to ensure their safety and wellbeing is being met.
