What the care home does well The home have made improvements to the appropriate storage of equipment used in the home. This means that communal areas are free from unnecessary clutter. The majority of bathrooms and toilets have bins provided for paper towels to be disposed of appropriately which is part of good infection control practices. The majority of stains on baths and sinks have been removed and bathroom and toilets repairs have been completed. 28 staff have completed training in Infection Control. The manager is aware of the remaining 16 staff who need to complete this training.

This will ensure that service users live in a home that is well maintained. Linen that is worn and torn should be removed from service and replaced. This will ensure that the home provides service users with good quality linen to use for personal care. The manager should apply to register with the Care Quality Commission as soon as possible.
