Background to this inspection
Updated
15 January 2016
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, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.’
This inspection took place on 18 September 2015 and was unannounced.
The inspection was carried out by one adult social care inspector
We spoke with the registered manager, with the person using the service and with a relative. We observed interactions between the registered manager and the person who used the service.
We looked at the care record for the person using the service, audits including health and safety, compliment and complaints records and training certificates.
Before the inspection providers are asked to complete a Provider Information Return (PIR). This is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We did not ask the service to provide us with a PIR prior to this inspection. We also looked at information from the local authority safeguarding and contracts teams.

The home was previously inspected in May 2014 and was compliant in all areas.
The home provides support to one person and there was a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
