We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

Our inspection took place on the 16 March 2015 and was unannounced. The provider was given 48 hours’ notice due to how small the service is and the manager is often out of the home supporting people and we needed to be sure that someone would be in.

The inspection was conducted by one inspector.

To plan our inspection we reviewed information we held about the service. This included notifications received from the provider about deaths, accidents/incidents, safeguarding alerts which the provider was required to send us by law.

On the day of the inspection there was only one person living in the home. We spoke with them about the service they received and found that they were very independent and did not require any personal care. We also spoke with the registered manager, who was also the owner and the only employee within the service. There were no other members of staff employed. We looked at the care records for the person who lived within the home, and records used for the management of the service.

The inspection took place on the 16 March 2015 and was announced. At our last inspection on the 13 June 2013 the provider was meeting the regulations inspected.

Rosemount is registered to provide accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care to three adults who may have a learning disability or autistic spectrum disorder. On the day of our inspection there was only one person living within the home and there was a registered manager 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.

We found that the regulated activity was not being carried out, we were therefore not able to award a rating as we could not answer all the KLOES against the activity.

The person living in the home told us they felt safe living there. We found that in the event the person was at risk the registered manager knew who to contact and the actions to take.

The registered manager was the only person that worked within the home and we found this was sufficient.

We found that the person living within the home was able to administer their own medicines and did not need any support with their medicines from the registered manager.

We found that the person living in the home had full capacity, which meant the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) was not appropriate. However, the registered manager was able to show us evidence of training they had taken part in about the MCA (2005).

We found that the person living in the home was able to maintain good health care by being able to see healthcare professionals, such as a doctor, optician or dentist as and when needed.

We found that the service was centred on the person living there. We saw that the person was an important part of how the service was delivered. They made key decisions as to how they were supported. They told us they were able to make their own decisions and if they had a concern they would speak with the registered manager.

We found that the persons preferences and were met as they were able to make their own decisions on how and where they socialised.

The person living within the home told us the service was well led.
