30th March 2016 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

This inspection was unannounced and took place on 30 March 2016. At the last inspection in December 2013, we found the provider was meeting all of the requirements of the regulations we reviewed.

Coton House is registered to provide accommodation for up to 29 people who require personal care and support. On the day of the inspection there were 29 people living at the home. There was a registered manager in post. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) 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.

People told us they felt safe. Staff knew how to identify possible signs of abuse and were confident in their knowledge of reporting procedures. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs and respond to people when required. People received their medicines as prescribed by their GP and medicines were stored and managed safely.

People received support from staff who had received training to ensure they had the skills and knowledge required for their roles. People were asked for their consent before care and support was provided. People expressed mixed views about the food, some people were happy with the menus and others felt portion sizes were too small and meals needed to be improved. People were supported to access relevant healthcare agencies when required.

People were supported by staff who had a caring approach and were friendly. Staff understood people’s preferences and individual needs. Staff treated people with respect and supported people in a way that maintained their privacy. Relatives and friends were welcomed and staff kept them updated about their family member’s health and well-being.

People were involved in decisions about their care and support. Staff understood people’s individual preferences and respected people’s cultural identities. People were involved in activities and staff supported people to participate in things that interested them. People knew how to complain if they were unhappy about the care they had received and the provider had systems in place to manage and respond to complaints.

People and relatives felt the service was well managed. Staff were able to contribute ideas about how the service could be improved. The management team carried out audits to assess the quality of the care and support provided and the registered manager and provider were aware of their responsibilities and had notified us of things they were required to do by law.
