Date of Assessment: 7 April to 16 May 2025. Marine View Lodge nursing home provides support to a maximum of 80 people living with dementia and/or nursing needs. At the time of our assessment, 60 people were living at the home. We visited the service in response to information of concern we received. Concerns related to the leadership governance and culture at the home. During the assessment, we identified 2 breaches of the regulations; Regulation 12 medicine management (a repeated breach) and Regulation 17 Well led (a repeated breach). Sufficient improvements in these areas had not been achieved.
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities most people take for granted. Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability or autistic people. The provider was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of 'Right support, right care, right culture'.
We identified 2 breaches of regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance. These were repeated breaches from our last inspection.
Staff were committed to providing positive care, and many examples were seen where staff had demonstrated positive and respectful interactions with people they supported. For those who wished to participate in outdoor activities, this was done with people wearing hats and sun cream to protect themselves from the hot weather prevalent at the time. Staff encouraged them to join in as much as possible.
The registered manager assisted with the assessment and made documents available to us during this assessment.
