Background to this inspection

Updated 2 November 2023

The inspection

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the Act) as part of our regulatory functions. We checked whether the provider was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Act. We looked at the overall quality of the service and provided a rating for the service under the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

As part of this inspection we looked at the infection control and prevention measures in place. This was conducted so we can understand the preparedness of the service in preventing or managing an infection outbreak, and to identify good practice we can share with other services.

Inspection team

The inspection was carried out by 2 inspectors, a specialist nurse advisor and an Expert by Experience. An Expert by Experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service.

Service and service type

Manor Residential Home (Arnold) Limited is a ‘care home’. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing and/or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement dependent on their registration with us. Manor Residential Home (Arnold) Limited is a care home without nursing care. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

Registered Manager

This provider is required to have a registered manager to oversee the delivery of regulated activities at this location. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Registered managers and providers are legally responsible for how the service is run, for the quality and safety of the care provided and compliance with regulations.

At the time of our inspection there was a registered manager in post.

Notice of inspection

This inspection was unannounced.

What we did before the inspection

We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection. We sought feedback from the local authority and professionals who work with the service. We used the information the provider sent us in the provider information return (PIR). This is information providers are required to send us annually with key information about their service, what they do well, and improvements they plan to make. We used all this information to plan our inspection.

During the inspection

We spoke with 8 people who used the service and 2 relatives about their experience of the care provided. We received feedback from 9 members of staff including the registered manager, deputy manager, care staff, housekeeping, administration, activity co-ordinator and the nominated individual. The nominated individual is responsible for supervising the management of the service on behalf of the provider. We reviewed a range of records. This included 5 people’s care records. We looked at 2 staff files in relation to recruitment. A variety of records relating to the management of the service, including audits, policies and procedures and training records were reviewed.

About the service

Manor Residential Home (Arnold) Limited is a care home registered to provide personal and nursing care, including to those living with dementia. The service can support up to 27 people. At the time of our inspection 26 people were living at the home. The home is split over 2 floors with communal areas on the ground floor and an outdoor communal space surrounding the property.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found

People were protected from the risk of abuse, harm and neglect by suitably trained staff who knew them well. Concerns were reported and acted upon. People we spoke with told us they felt safe and enjoyed living at the home.

Medicines were administered safely and referrals to other medical professionals were timely and recommendations were acted upon. There were enough competent staff on shift to ensure people were safe and received good quality care. Staff members told us they were encouraged and given the time to sit and socialise with people to build open and trusting relationships.

People were supported with their nutritional requirements and offered choice. Staff were knowledgeable about people’s needs and supported people to be as independent as possible.

Staff were recruited safely. Appropriate checks were undertaken prior to people commencing employment and staff were supported with an induction and rolling training programme to ensure they were skilled within their roles.

People told us the service was well led and they received person centred care. Relatives we spoke with supported this and told us management were open and approachable. Management and staff were clear about their roles, responsibilities and continuously looked for ways to develop and improve the service and the level of care provided.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

Rating at last inspection

The last rating for this service was good (published 20 November 2020).

Why we inspected

This inspection was prompted by a review of the information we held about this service. We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.

We undertook a focused inspection to review the key questions of safe, effective and well-led only. For those key questions not inspected, we used the ratings awarded at the last inspection to calculate the overall rating.

Follow up

We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next inspect.
