The manager has previously worked in a similar care home for a number of years. The manager appeared to be an open person with a commitment to improve the service and to ensure people’s rights to live in a safe and comfortable home. The home has a system for listening to the people who use the service, their carers and relevant people to improve the service. In the AQAA (a document sent by the manager to the Commission as part of this inspection), the registered person explained how they consult with the people who use the service and their relatives by organising quarterly meetings and by including their suggestions in the work plans. This was confirmed during the inspection. It was also noted that the home undertakes a monthly audit of medicines and an annual financial audit. The home does not manage the residents’ finances. However, personal allowances of some residents are given to the home either by the residents or their relatives for some ongoing expenses such as toiletries, hairdressers and newspapers.
