About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 July 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Beachville West End is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 13 people. The service provides support to older people with accommodation over 2 floors. At the time of our inspection there were 13 people using the service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
The home accommodates 13 people in one adapted building which includes dining and social areas such as a communal lounge area and a seafront garden.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
At the time of the inspection, the location did not care or support for anyone with a learning disability or an autistic person. However, we assessed the care provision under Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture, as it is registered as a specialist service for this population group.
Right support: Staff were trained and enthusiastic in their roles to provide the care that people required to live the most independent lives as possible. Staff had received a good standard of training to fulfil their roles. We spoke to a number of people who use the service and their relatives who told us about how their nutritional needs were being met. This was in part due to the positive relationship between carers, the kitchen staff and people who lived there.
Right Care: People's care plans were person centred and the home recognised the importance of equality and diversity in its policy making. The management team were knowledgeable about their roles and responsibilities and had promoted a culture of respect which focused on individuals' personal choices. The Registered Manager had carried out appropriate quality checks to maintain a good oversight of the care being provided by their team.
Right Culture: Staff we spoke to were passionate about achieving good outcomes for people who use the service and people felt the home provided a close family like experience. 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
