All Inspections

15 October 2012

During a routine inspection

We used the Short Observational Framework for Inspection (SOFI), because the people using the service had complex needs which meant they were not able to tell us their experiences. SOFI is a specific way of observing care to help us understand the experience of people who could not talk with us.

We spoke with a relative of one person who told us that they were happy with the care provided in the home. However, they said that they 'would like to be kept more informed about changes as and when they occurred'.

During an inspection looking at part of the service

We used a number of different methods to help us understand the experiences of people using the service, because all of the people using the service had complex needs which meant they were not able to tell us their experiences.

We spoke with relatives of two people using the service. One relative told us that they were 'really pleased with the care'. Other relatives said that they had seen improvements and that 'Mum looks better'. All relatives told us that both the owner and the manager of the home are accessible for help and advice as well as to discuss any concerns they may have.

The staff told us that they liked working at the home and that there had been changes and improvements since the last inspection.

We reviewed a sample of people's care plans. We observed staff following relevant guidance from the care plans. Staff demonstrated good knowledge of people using the service.

We reviewed the complaints records and found one complaint in the last 12 months. The relatives confirmed that the issue had been resolved and we saw evidence of action taken.
