All Inspections

3 April 2013

During a routine inspection

We spoke with three people who live at Sycamore Court Residential Home. Peoples comments included: 'A group of us are going to Blackpool in June. We went their last year and we had a great time, the hotel was really nice.' People also spoke to us about their regular weekly activities, which included attending a range of colleges and social events. 'I go to the Hindu Temple on a Friday and take part in Bollywood Dancing.' And 'It's my birthday soon and a group of us are going out.' 'I enjoy the gardening club I belong to.'

People we spoke with confirmed the information recorded within their support and care plans and spoke to us about the care and support they received including the support they received from their keyworker. People told us they attended regular resident meetings and were confident to raise concerns and speak with staff.

Staff we spoke with and records we looked at showed staff had a good understanding of the needs of people and their role in providing support and had received the necessary training and ongoing support to promote people's health, welfare and safety.

Systems were in place which provided an opportunity for the provider to seek the views of people using the service and the staff employed. The provided regularly monitored the compliance of the service through regular audits which included visits to the service and made appropriate improvements where shortfalls had been identified.
