All Inspections

24 September 2013

During a routine inspection

This was the first inspection of this service since it was registered. There were only two people using the service at the time of our inspection and we were told by the registered manager that the service was closing the following week. We found that the people using the service were supported to make decisions about their care and treatment. Relatives we spoke with told us they were very happy with how their relative had been cared for. Comments included 'The care has been fantastic' and 'It's a lovely home'.

People had clear care plans that provided staff with up to date information about how to meet their needs. This included their health needs, personal care needs, emotional and social needs. Records showed that people had received the care and support their plan said they needed. We found that staff understood how to communicate with people and they treated them with respect.

We found that appropriate action had not been taken by the provider to ensure the premises were protected from the risk of fire.

We found that there were insufficient numbers of staff employed to work in the service at weekends in order to deliver people's care and effectively meet their needs.
