What the care home does well

The Manager is well qualified, experienced and has high expectations of the standards of care for residents. There is an open and friendly atmosphere with good interaction between residents, staff and visitors. Personal health care needs are well supported and residents` individual preferences are catered for where practicable. Residents` spiritual needs are very well met. Milward House provides a comfortable environment and the standard of cleanliness around the home is very good. Information about the home is easily accessible and staff are good at helping residents to settle in. Staff are encouraged to undertake training and receive effective supervision. There are good procedures to protect residents from abuse. Residents are regularly asked for their views about the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection, the lift has been replaced and residents find this easier to use and consequently have more independence. The kitchenette on the ground floor has been completely refurbished, providing a more pleasant and safer place for residents and their visitors to make drinks. A change in the allocation of some senior staff hours means improved continuity of qualified nurse cover. Qualified staff are being encouraged to take on greater responsibilities, thereby engendering more self-worth and a happier atmosphere. Systems have been developed to monitor staff member`s understanding of good practice policies and procedures. The system of keeping and recording cash on behalf of residents has been modified to further safeguard residents` interests.

What the care home could do better:

Residents and staff safety would be better promoted if there were more adequate storage areas for equipment such as lifting hoists and wheelchairs when not in use.
