The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is upon outcomes for people and their views on the service provided and focuses on aspects of service provision that need further development. One inspector conducted the unannounced visit. The main method of inspection used was called ‘case tracking’ which involved selecting and looking at the quality of the care people receive by speaking to them, observation, reading their records and asking staff about their needs. The acting manager and one member of staff were spoken with as part of this visit. Documents were read as part of this visit and medication management was inspected to form an opinion about the health and safety of people at the home. A partial tour of the building was undertaken which included a sample of bedrooms to make sure that the environment is safe and homely. A review of all the information we have received about the home since the last inspection was considered in planning this visit and this helped decide what areas were looked at. A range of additional information was used to determine the outcome of this visit and included the six responses to ten “have your say” surveys, which were sent to people who use the service prior to the visit. Information provided by the registered provider within an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment was also utilised to inform the inspection process. The quality rating for this service is 2 star this means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
