Background to this inspection

Updated 20 April 2022

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.

As part of CQC’s response to care homes with outbreaks of COVID-19, we are conducting reviews to ensure that the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practice is safe and that services are compliant with IPC measures. This was a targeted inspection looking at the IPC practices the provider has in place. We also asked the provider about any staffing pressures the service was experiencing and whether this was having an impact on the service.

This inspection took place on 29 March 2022 and was announced. We gave the service 24 hours’ notice of the inspection.

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

The service clearly demonstrated how it continued and consistently met the characteristics of providing excellent care. People were at the heart of the service and the registered manager and staff were fully committed to providing high-quality person-centred care. Staff were clearly committed and compassionate, striving to provide excellent care at all times. People were treated with exceptional kindness, dignity and respect and received their care and support from a highly motivated and dedicated staff team.

There was an extremely open and transparent culture within the service and the providers vision and values were clearly understood and upheld. The registered manager and management team worked in partnership with others and strove to ensure the service was the best it could be.

Comprehensive auditing and monitoring programmes had been completed and excellent governance was embedded within the service. There was a strong emphasis on continuous improvement and the thoughts of the people using the service, relatives, staff, stakeholders and members of the local community were continually sought and listened too.

Staff were recruited safely, and appropriate numbers were available to meet people’s needs. Staff were extremely proud to work at the service and had received the training and support they needed to meet people’s needs in a person-centred and holistic way.

People were provided with a stimulating environment, which met their specific needs as well as promoting independence and socialisation. The staff team went above and beyond to find out the things important to people and activities and social interaction were an integral part of people's lives.

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

People were supported safely. Their needs had been comprehensively assessed and the risks associated with their care and support had been reviewed and managed. People felt extremely safe living at Wren Hall Nursing Home and staff knew their responsibilities for ensuring people were kept safe from avoidable harm.

The registered manager and staff team embraced comprehensive and innovative approaches to safeguarding and positive risk-taking, supporting people to have control over their lives.

Comprehensive plans of care had been developed and staff knew the people they were supporting extremely well. Staff worked hard to promote people's right to make their own decisions about their care where possible and respected the choices they made. People’s consent was always obtained.

People were supported to access relevant healthcare services when they needed them, and they were supported to eat and drink well. People received their medicine safely and as prescribed.

People were provided with care and support that not only met their care and support needs, but also their emotional, social, cultural and spiritual needs. People were greatly respected as individuals and their values and beliefs were upheld.

An end of life suite had been created to offer more comfortable, relaxed and private facilities for people and their families facing death and bereavement. People’s wishes at the end of their life were sought and followed and people received excellent end of life care.
