Our current view of the service

Good

Updated 11 April 2025

Date of assessment: 15 April to 7 May 2025. Rose Water Place is a newly registered care home providing accommodation for people who require personal care. We completed this inspection due to concerns being raised about the standard of care provided.

Potential risks to people’s health and welfare had been assessed, however, there was not always specific person centred guidance for staff. Medicine records were not always accurate. When people did not have capacity to make decisions, these had been made in the person’s best interest. However, records of these decisions had not always been accurate. Staff had not always received training in how to support people with specific health conditions. There was a system to check the quality of the service, but this had not always been effective in identifying the shortfalls found.

Though we identified some minor shortfalls, there was no impact on people, as staff knew people well. Staff told us they felt supported and were encouraged to further their careers. The provider supported workforce equality and diversity, staff felt confident to speak up about any concerns they may have.

 

People's experience of the service

Updated 11 April 2025

People were happy living at the service and felt safe. Relatives confirmed staff had acted to keep people safe when they had fallen and acted to reduce the risk of this happening again. People had sensor mats in place to alert staff when they were mobilising, they had call bell pendants so they could call for assistance wherever they were.

There were enough trained staff, comments included, “They seem to know what they are doing. I can't walk or dress myself or get up and they help me.” Also, “I think there are enough staff. I have a pendant round my neck. It always works and I don't have to wait long for someone to come.”

People felt they were supported to be as independent as possible for example, by staff supporting them to use mobility aids. People told us they were referred to healthcare professionals when their needs changed, or they were unwell. People had access to activities and local community groups.
