Onny Cottage

Onny Cottage is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 7 people. The service provides support to older people who have a physical and/or sensory impairment. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people using the service. Accommodation is provided in 1 adapted building.

People felt safe living at the home and with the staff who supported them. People were supported by sufficient numbers of staff who knew them well and who had been trained to recognise and report any signs of abuse. The provider's procedures for staff recruitment had improved so people were protected from harm. People received their medicines when they needed them from staff who were trained and competent to carry out the role. Risks to people were assessed and there were care plans in place to manage and mitigate risks. There were regular checks on the environment and equipment used by people to ensure they remained safe. The provider followed appropriate infection, prevention and control procedures. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives. Staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the provider's policies and procedures supported this practice.
