This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care inspection (CSCI) is based upon outcomes for people who live in the home and their views of the service provided. This process considers the care homes capacity to meet regulatory requirements, minimum standards of practice and focuses on aspects of service provision that needs further development. The inspection took place over one day; the Home did not know we were coming. The inspector met people living at the Home, spent time observing support and interactions from staff, had a tour of the premises including peoples bedrooms, looked at care records and health care records and medication management. Health and safety records and staffing records were also assessed. All information looked at was used to determine whether peoples varied needs are being effectively met. Two people were identified for close examination this included reading their care plans, risk assessments daily records and other relevant information. This is part of a process known as “case tracking” where evidence is matched to outcomes for service users. What the service does well:
People living in the Home receive good support from a staff team that knows their needs. The home is well decorated and furnished so people have a homely, comfortable and safe place to live. There is a good range of communal space for people to use, including a games room and well-maintained garden. People are supported to enjoy activities in the local community. They said their family and friends are made welcome at the home. Each person has their own bedroom where they can spend time in private if they want to. All the staff have completed NVQ level 2 in care, which helps to ensure that they have the skills to support people and meet their needs. People living in the home said
Woodland House DS0000017003.V344592.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 “I trust the staff and like the staff if anything goes wrong they are always there to help”. “ Staff listens to me”. “I like my room and I have sky sports in my room which I love”. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.
