Rosegarland Residential Care Home

We found the following examples of good practice.

¿ Visiting to the home was managed safely. The registered manager has ensured visits are spaced out to avoid potential infection transmission. Visitors complete a lateral flow test and fill out a questionnaire to ensure they are symptom free and have had no contact with people who have tested positive for COVID-19.

¿ The registered manager effectively seeks the guidance of the Local Authority infection prevention and control team. This enabled them to support visitors to the home to celebrate people’s birthdays safely.

¿ During the COVID-19 outbreak an area of the home was sectioned off to enable people with the virus to be isolated.

People’s experience of using this service:

People and relatives told us the service was caring and safe.

People received person centred, good quality care.

Some safety checks were in place but we identified they were not all up to date. The provider took immediate steps to address this. We have made a recommendation about safety checks.

Medicines were being administered safely and people’s dietary and health care needs were being met.

Staff were consistent and knowledgeable and received training and supervision to ensure they could carry out their roles effectively.

Staff were caring and compassionate. They knew people well and people’s choices and privacy were respected. Information about people’s care and support was up to date and person centred.

A range of quality checks were in place. It was not possible to review their effectiveness as the system had only recently been introduced.

The manager provided people with leadership and was visible and approachable. The manager was in the early stages of registering with the Care Quality Commission. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
