What the care home does well All the people who use the service have commented that they like living in the home, and like their rooms, meals and how they are treated. The owner manager is a Dietician and provides meals that are very well balanced nutritionally and contain specific higher areas of nutrition when poor health requires. This has had positive outcomes for the peoples health and speed of healing, for example in the case of pressure sores. The people who use the service and relatives have consistently confirmed that meals at the home are pleasant and enjoyable. Life story books are produced to exercise and maintain memory. Relatives are encouraged to and do maintain contact with the home and other people using the service following the death of the relative concerned. It is seen as good practice that the home does not manage anybodys money and it is to be commended for pursuing alternative solutions. This home is very well maintained and clean. At this and all unannounced inspections, it has been reassuring to see that the home was particularly clean and hygienic. There have been no changes in the full time staff since the 2006 inspection. This provides people with consistency and staff that know them well. Staff attend hospital with the people to provide support. What has improved since the last inspection? Bacterial analysis testing of the water supply is occurring regularly. More staff are now qualified. Staff supervision is now better recorded. What the care home could do better: no new shortfalls requiring improvement were identified at this inspecytion Key inspection report
