We carried out this review to check on the care and welfare of people using this service. There were five people who lived at the home on the day of the inspection. Three people were able to tell us that they liked living there and they liked the care workers and felt looked after. Two people were not able to tell us about their care and treatment, but we observed their care and interactions with care workers. We could see that people who lived at the home were comfortable and relaxed when engaging with the care workers.
People choose how they spent their day and how much they chose to involve themselves in their day to day household routines and tasks. One person preferred to stay in their room and had a small separate seating area adjoining their room. They were able to use a call bell if they required a care worker. When we spoke to this person they were able to tell us about the care, treatment and medication they received.
People had a choice of two lounges, a dining room and a conservatory with no restriction to the kitchen. We saw that people who lived at the home were actively encouraged to assist in preparing meals and snacks. The furnishings and ornaments in the communal areas of the home had been minimal which reflected the wishes of people who lived at the home.
