Background to this inspection

Updated 19 July 2023

The inspection

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the Act) as part of our regulatory functions. We checked whether the provider was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Act. We looked at the overall quality of the service and provided a rating for the service under the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

As part of this inspection, we looked at the infection control and prevention measures in place. This was conducted so we can understand the preparedness of the service in preventing or managing an infection outbreak, and to identify good practice we can share with other services.

Inspection team

This inspection was carried out by 2 inspectors and 1 operations manager.

Service and service type

Rosevilla Nursing Home is a ‘care home’. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing and/or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement dependent on their registration with us. Rosevilla Nursing home is a care home with nursing care. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

Registered Manager

This provider is required to have a registered manager to oversee the delivery of regulated activities at this location. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Registered managers and providers are legally responsible for how the service is run, for the quality and safety of the care provided and compliance with regulations.

At the time of our inspection there was not a registered manager in post. A manager was in the process of registering with us but had since left the service.

Notice of inspection

This inspection was unannounced.

What we did before the inspection

We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection. We sought feedback from the local authority and professionals who work with the service. We used the information the provider sent us in the provider information return (PIR). This is information providers are required to send us annually with key information about their service, what they do well, and improvements they plan to make. We used all this information to plan our inspection.

During the inspection

We spoke with 4 people who used the service and 1 relative of their experiences of the care provided. We spoke with 11 members of staff including the covering manager, who was the lead operations manager, the deputy manager, care and nursing staff, a housekeeper, a cook, and the activities lead. We spoke with an external advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) who was visiting during our inspection.

We also spoke with the registered manager and their deputy for another service under the provider, who were providing additional onsite support and compiling an action plan for required improvements at Rosevilla Nursing Home.

We reviewed a range of records, this included 5 people's care records and multiple medication records. We looked at 3 staff files in relation to recruitment. A variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures were reviewed.

About the service

Rosevilla Nursing Home is a nursing home providing personal and nursing care to up to 49 people. The service provides support to older people some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 35 people using the service.

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

People’s care plans were not always up to date, and safety monitoring was not in place for 1 person’s complex needs. The provider had made improvements at our last inspection, however we found further improvements were still required to ensure people received effective and safe care.

People were supported by staff who were trained to recognise and report on the risk of abuse. 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.

People were supported by enough staff who were safely recruited to work at the home. People’s medicines were managed effectively. Effective infection control practices were in place. Lessons were learnt when things went wrong.

Staff and managers shared a positive culture, and they demonstrated a passion to provide improved care to people. The provider acted on the duty of candour under their legal responsibility. People, their relatives and staff were involved in the running of the service. The provider worked well with other agencies to help achieve good outcomes for people.

Why we inspected

We received concerns in relation to people’s nursing care needs and the quality assurance systems in place. As a result, we undertook a focused inspection to review the key questions of safe and well-led only.

For those key questions not inspected, we used the ratings awarded at the last inspection to calculate the overall rating. The overall rating for the service has remained the same based on the findings of this inspection.

We have found evidence that the provider needs to make improvements. Please see the safe and well-led sections of this full report.

We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
