Grosvenor Manor Care Centre

Updated 30 January 2021

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

As part of CQC’s response to care homes with outbreaks of coronavirus, we are conducting reviews to ensure that the Infection Prevention and Control practice was safe and the service was compliant with IPC measures. This was a targeted inspection looking at the IPC practices the provider has in place.

This inspection took place on 18 January 2021 and was announced.

About the service

Grosvenor Manor is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 81 older people including people living with dementia. The home accommodates people in one two-storey adapted building. At the time of the inspection 47 people were living at the home.

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

The registered manager and staff team were consistently kind and caring and promoted people’s continued independence and actively encouraged people’s participation in the development of the home. Feedback from people and their relatives was consistently sought and acted upon to further develop the service offered at the home.

People’s needs had been assessed, care plans developed, and risk assessments put in place to ensure people’s individual needs could be met and risks reduced or mitigated. People told us they were fully involved in this process and that care plans were regularly reviewed and updated.

Staff had developed positive relationships with people and their relatives. They had an excellent understanding of how to meet each person’s individual needs and fully understood their routines and preferences. People’s privacy and dignity was consistently respected.

People participated in purposeful activities and pastimes which were meaningful to them, both in the local and wider community. Positive outcomes had been achieved through the encouragement of regular exercise and activity. Staff took the time to get to know what people enjoyed doing and were pivotal in the deliverance of individualised activities and pastimes.

Community links had been established and people spoke positively about the volunteers that visited the home to participate in a wide variety of activities. People were encouraged to maintain contact with relatives and friends.

Safe recruitment procedures were in place and staff were supported in their role with appropriate training and supervision. The staff and management team worked closely with health and social care professionals.

Medication was managed safely by trained and competent staff. Medicines policies and procedures were available for staff along with best practice guidance. Emergency procedures and contingency plans were in place.

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.

This service was registered with us on 10/07/2018 and this is the first inspection.
