19th February 2014 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

On the day of our inspection there were 13 people living at the home. We spoke with six people who use the service and five members of staff.

People we spoke with felt the staff always respected their privacy and dignity and helped them to remain as independent as possible. People’s health, safety and welfare was protected when more than one provider was involved in their care and treatment.

People were protected against the risks associated with medicines because the provider had appropriate arrangements in place to manage medicines. People told us they received their medicines when they should do. One person commented: "They know when I have my medicines and always check to see if I have any pain or need anything extra."

There were effective recruitment and selection processes in place and appropriate checks were undertaken before staff began work. This meant people living at the home were protected, as far as possible, from the risk of being cared for by people who were not of good character.

People living at the home were aware of how to raise concerns and told us they would speak to the person in charge or their key worker. All felt any comments or complaints would be listened to and acted on. One person commented: "I only have to say something and it gets sorted."

23rd January 2013 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

People told us staff always double checked with them that they wanted help with their care needs before providing any assistance. They confirmed staff took time to explain what was happening and made sure they agreed with any changes. One person commented "they do what I tell them, they know how I like things done."

People felt their needs were being met and said staff did things the way they wanted them done. One person told us "I plan what I want to do every day and the staff help me do it. I just ask when I want help and they do it."

People who use the service told us that staff knew what they were doing when helping and supporting them. One person commented: "They are all nice and they help me do things for myself."

We found the provider met the outcomes we inspected and had systems in place to monitor their own compliance.
