About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 5 October 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Standon House is a residential care home without nursing care. The home accommodates a maximum of 31 people in one adapted building. At the time of this inspection 27 people lived in home, some of whom were living with dementia. Accommodation was provided over two floors with shared communal facilities, including lounge and dining areas.
What inspectors found
People were not always safe as the infection prevention and control procedures were not always effectively implemented. The provider still needed to improve their systems for identifying and mitigating potential environmental issues which could put people at the risk of harm.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider had not developed some protocols for the administration of specific medicines. However, people received their medicines, as prescribed, by staff members who had been trained and assessed as competent.
The provider and management team needed to make further improvements in their quality assurance checks to ensure people received good care in a safe environment.
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.
The management team reviewed any incidents, accidents and near misses to identify whether any trends could be established or whether anything else could be done differently to safely support people.
People were protected from the risks of abuse and ill treatment.
People were engaged with decisions about the service they received and felt their opinions were valued by the management team.
The provider and management team had good links with the local communities within which people lived.
