This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
This was an unannounced key inspection that took place over a four and a half hour period. The process included discussions with the owner, the manager, staff and people who live at the home. A random sample of policies, procedures, safety records, staff and residents’ files were examined and a tour of the premises took place. The owner completed and returned the homes annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) and this has been used throughout the report. Surveys were sent to people living in the home, their relatives, health and social care professionals associated with the home and staff that work there to obtain their views on the service the home provides. The response was very positive and comments from these surveys have been used throughout the report. All of the key standards were inspected. What the service does well:
