What the care home does well

The information given to prospective residents is very good giving comprehensive details of the services provided by the home enabling them to decide if they want to live in the home. The pre-admission assessment is of a high standard and gives the basis for the in depth care plan; the computerised system is good but this is to be superceded by a new care plan format that is to be written and will therefore be more accessible to residents, relatives and staff. Activities are creative, varied and interesting a lot of thought has gone into developing a programme to suit the residents, who are involved in deciding what they would like to do, the residents spoken to were very supportive of the home in this area and stated that they enjoyed being involved in the planning of themed days and days out. The residents and relatives spoken to stated that they received a good quality of care, that the staff were very good and that their dignity a, privacy and choices were respected. The home has a lovely chapel of its own for religious observance and quiet contemplation, all faiths are catered for with services from different religious denominations. .

What has improved since the last inspection?

Decoration and furnishings are being gradually improved and areas in the home are now looking more welcoming and homely; carpets, furniture and soft furnishings are being replaced and this programme needs to continue.

What the care home could do better:

The refurbishment, maintenance and re-decoration programme needs to continue. A cleaning schedule for the home needs to be devised and implemented by the domestic team so that the domestic resources are better structured and therefore more effective. Dependency assessments need to be undertaken for all residents so that the staff levels can be monitored and tailored to the changing needs of the residents. All maintenance and servicing certificates need to be checked to make sure that they are current; particularly around fire safety.
