All Inspections

11 January 2014

During a routine inspection

The registered manager and one member of support staff were available throughout the inspection and were very knowledgeable about people in their care, the policies, procedures and systems in place to ensure the continued smooth running of the home.

People shared with us their experiences about living in the home and we observed and spoke with three people. Everyone expressed positive comments and enjoyed living at Meadowbank. People told us 'I am happy and like living here' and 'I like all the staff here' and 'I like it here'.

We spent time in the communal lounge with people who lived at the home so that we could observe the direct care, attention and support that they received. We observed there was constant interaction between staff and people in the home. People were relaxed, happy and supported by staff.

It was a positive visit and we found that the provider was compliant in all five outcomes that we looked at.
