Background to this inspection

Updated 21 January 2020

The inspection

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the Act) as part of our regulatory functions. We checked whether the provider was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Act. We looked at the overall quality of the service and provided a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

Inspection team

The inspection team consisted of one inspector.

Service and service type

Eden Place is a ‘care home’. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

The service had a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission. This means that they and the provider are legally responsible for how the service is run and for the quality and safety of the care provided.

Notice of inspection

This inspection was unannounced on the first day and announced on the second.

What we did before the inspection

We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection. We sought feedback from the local authority and professionals who work with the service. We used the information the provider sent us in the provider information return. This is information providers are required to send us with key information about their service, what they do well, and improvements they plan to make. This information helps support our inspections. We used all of this information to plan our inspection.

During the inspection

We spoke with eight people who used the service about their experience of the care provided. We spoke with four members of staff including the registered manager and three care staff.

We reviewed a range of records. This included two people’s care records and medication records. We looked at two staff files in relation to recruitment and staff supervision. A variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures were reviewed.

After the inspection

We continued to seek clarification from the provider to validate evidence found. We looked at training data and quality assurance records.

Overall inspection

Good

Updated 21 January 2020

Eden Place is a residential care home providing personal care to 11 people aged 50 and over at the time of the inspection. Eden Place can accommodate up to 12 people in one adapted building.

The service has been developed and designed in line with the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. This ensures that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence. People using the service receive planned and co-ordinated person-centred support that is appropriate and inclusive for them.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found

People were very happy and settled, and staff clearly knew them very well. Safeguarding concerns were dealt with in an appropriate and person-centred manner. Risks were equally well managed with individualised risk management plans. Although there had been very few adverse events, all had been analysed and reviewed to see if lessons could be learnt.

Staffing levels ensured people could live their lives as they wished, with a full range of outings and activities. Medicines management was safe and infection control practice was embedded in everyday tasks. The home was very clean and fresh.

People were supported by a registered manager and a staff team who followed current best practice, and constantly strove to provide better care. People were supported with eating and drinking as needed and accessed health and other external services as required. Staff ensured people were empowered to do as much as possible for themselves, and people shaped their own day routines.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. Their needs were well reflected in documentation and in practice, and we saw personalised end of life plans. The home had received many compliments.

The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent. Regular quality assurance checks ensured care delivery was reviewed and amended if needed.
