All Inspections

14 February 2014

During a routine inspection

We spoke with three people who used the service who told us that they were happy with the service. One person said: "I like it here and the nurses are really nice." People told us they were consulted about their care and treatment and we observed that staff ensured people had a choice: for example, during our inspection a staff member arranged for people to be involved in a game of bingo and another staff member offered people to go to a quite area to have a manicure.

During the course of our inspection we saw that people were supported to express their views and choices by whatever means they were able. Staff clearly understood each person's behaviours and their individual ways of communicating their needs. We saw that people were comfortable with staff and others who lived at Sea Breeze and that there was a relaxed atmosphere.

We saw that care plans had been completed with people to ensure staff understood how to support people with their care and treatment needs. Care and treatment was personalised and centred on individual needs, promoting person centred care.

During a routine inspection

We gathered evidence of people's experiences of the service by talking with people, observing how they spent their time and noting how they interacted with other people living in the home and with staff.

During our inspection we spoke with people who said they liked living at Sea Breeze. One person told us they had enjoyed their dinner. We saw that people smiled and appeared relaxed and comfortable with staff and others living in the home.

Relatives who completed surveys as part of the home's quality assurance system were complimentary about the standard of care provided at Sea Breeze. One relative stated that they were 'Very happy about the care.'

We saw that there was a good atmosphere in the home and that people enjoyed taking part in activities throughout the day of our inspection.
