This was a Random inspection. As the service is an excellent rating the inspection was to monitor the performance of the service and to ensure it was still providing excellent outcomes for service users. The inspection began at 10am and lasted until 11.30am. As part of the inspection the inspector examined the care plans and risk assessments for all the residents currently placed in the home, and looked at incidents of notice in the home and if these matched those sent to the CSCI. Since the last inspection the Registered Manager has now returned from Maternity to her post as Registered Manager of the service. Time was spent on the day of the inspection discussing issues with her.
