29 Manchester Road is required to have a registered manager and at the time of our inspection, there was one in post. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

The provider had effective systems in place to safeguard people and keep them safe. Safe recruitment procedures were followed and pre-employment checks were undertaken to ensure staff were safe and able to work within the care sector.

People were involved in completing their care plans to inform staff of what was important to the individual and how they wanted their needs met. Care plans were focused on the person and contained appropriate risk assessments.

7th May 2014 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

At our visit there was one person living at the home and we spoke with them about their care. We also examined records and spoke to two members of staff working at the service.

Is the service safe?

The person living at 29 Manchester Road told us they felt safe living there and said they would find it easy to talk to the manager if they had any worries. We found that staff spoke with people about what abuse is and what to do if they felt unsafe in the home. Staff used an 'easy read' booklet, which contained simple wording and pictures to help people understand this.

We found that the manager had identified that some restrictions to the person's liberty may be needed to help keep them safe. Because of this, the manager had followed the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 and made a formal application to the relevant local authority for an assessment to be completed for the use of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards 2009 (DOLS) for the person's care. Records also showed that formal authorisation for this had been granted. This meant that the person using the service was protected against the risk of unlawful or excessive control or restraint because the provider had made suitable arrangements.

Is the service effective?

Records showed that specific areas of care were risk assessed. Where any risks to people's safety were identified from these, written care plans detailed the action to be taken by staff to reduce these. People's care plan records also showed how staff monitored the effectiveness of people's care, including their health conditions. This meant that people’s needs were properly assessed and they were protected against the risks of receiving inappropriate care or treatment.

Is the service caring?

We found that staff regularly held meetings with people living at the home. We read the minutes of a recent meeting and found that people were given the opportunity to talk about things that were important to them. This included their accommodation, things they liked and didn’t like and planning social activities and trips. The person we spoke with told us they had regular meetings with staff and could talk to them about different things. This meant that people had an ongoing involvement in their care and treatment.

Is the service responsive?

At our visit we found that the person using the service had been supported by staff on a local walk. When we spoke with the person they told us, “I’m happy with how staff support me.” When we read the care file we found that staff regularly supported them to go out walking as part of supporting their healthy lifestyle. Their care records also described how staff supported the person to choose healthy food and to manage their weight. This meant that people’s care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure their safety and welfare.

Is the service well-led?

The provider had an effective system in place to identify, assess and manage risks to the health, safety and welfare of people using the service and others. Records showed that the provider arranged for regular checks to be made of all electrical equipment and fire equipment in the home and gas safety. The provider regularly checked that staff training was up to date and that staff supervisions, team meetings and meetings with people using the service had been completed.
