All inspections: Rosemount - Care Quality Commission

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.

We carried out this inspection to check on the care and welfare of people. There were two people living at the home on the day of the inspection. Both people were very independent and only needed support. No personal care was given. We spoke with both people and the manager who was the only staff member working within the home at the time of our visit.

People told us they were asked before any support was given as part of gaining their consent. One person said, 'Yes I do get asked'. This meant staff were seeking people's consent before any care and support was done.

Care records were person centred and identified people's support needs.

The manager was the only staff member that worked within the home. People told us the manager was very supportive, kind and caring.

There was a complaints system in place to allow people to complain or make comments and people's comments were acted upon. One person said, "I do know who to complain to, if i need to".

Records were accurate and kept appropriately as part of ensuring people's support needs were provided for appropriately.

At the time of the inspection there were two people who lived at this home. Both told us that they had lived there for a long time and were very independent and spent much of their time out in the community working or visiting the local town for shopping. They told us that they felt involved in discussions about the home and their support.

We were told that people were supported by the manager. People told us that they felt safe living at the home and said they had people they could speak with if they had any concerns.

We saw that records were not always as up to date as they should be to demonstrate the level of support provided.
