The ARC is not for long term, permanent care but for rehabilitation, therefore following rehabilitation, the Service User will move on to another appropriate facility.

The bedrooms are single with an en-suite facility, providing a good standard of accommodation. A team of nursing staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation assistants provide care and support the Service User group.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection commenced at 10.30 am and was completed at 2.30 pm. The Registered Manager Mrs Anita Smith showed the inspector round the premises, including many of the bedrooms. Two Service Users and staff were spoken to. Care records were inspected, as were medication records. Several of the recommendations made from the previous inspection were not assessed by the inspector on this occasion as the information needed was held in the central office of the site. These recommendations will be assessed at the announced inspection. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The requirement made from the previous inspection relating to approved devices to be applied to fire doors has been fully addressed and many of the recommendations which were made had also been addressed.
