All Inspections

3 December 2013

During a routine inspection

There were fourteen people living in the home at the time of our visit. We spent time with people in their private bedrooms, in communal areas and during an activities session. Twelve people that spoke with us told us that they were very happy living in the home.

Comments from people included. 'The care we receive is excellent in every way. The staff are all lovely and anything they do for you they do willingly and in a nice way'.

People had their needs and wishes assessed and recorded in order to ensure that the home could meet their individual needs.

Each person living in the home had a detailed care plan in place that was regularly reviewed and updated to reflect their changing needs.

People were protected from risk of abuse or harm by staff having received relevant training and staff that spoke with us were aware of their responsibilities.

People were being cared for by a well-trained and well supported staff team.

There were procedures in place to assess and monitor the quality of the service being provided and people told us that they were consulted about their care.

Comments from two visitors that spoke with us included. 'As it is a comparatively small home, the care is very personal. Staff are very engaging and always wanting the best for the people that live here.'
