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

The residents have high dependency needs, which are understood and met by a committed staff team. The manager has undertaken comprehensive riskassessments, which enable staff to support residents to take risks on a dayto-day basis. The residents are supported to attend day centre services throughout the week. The care staff provide residents with leisure activities within and outside of the home. The residents` rights are respected by the care staff. A high emphasis is placed on the welfare of the residents. The home has a well-established staff team. Care staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities to the residents. Care staff receive regular training and ongoing development. The home provides a safe, warm, comfortable environment to the residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The manager has made amendments to the statement of purpose, which now has information about CSCI. The fire inspector has visited the home and fire doors have been made safer by the Islecare maintenance team. New flooring as been laid in the dining area. The manager is now spending half a day at the home five days a week. The manager has completed the National Vocational Qualification NVQ level 4 and the Residential managers award and 50% of the staff team have completed NVQ level 2 in care. The senior carer has begun to implement formal supervision.

What the care home could do better:

The service user guide should include details of the contract. Islecare `97 Ltd should provide each resident with a contract or terms and conditions of the placement and this should be kept at the home and be available for inspection. The kitchen is still in need of refurbishment and Islecare `97 Ltd should persist that the landlord sees this job as a priority. Paintwork in the bathroom is also outstanding.
