About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 18 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Brunswick is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 58 people. The service provides support to older adults including those living with dementia. At the time of our inspection the service was supporting 45 people.
What inspectors found
We were assured that the environment was safe and suitable, but we have made a recommendation about improving some parts of the environment to help people living with dementia better navigate communal areas of the home.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Medicines were managed and stored safely. People received their medicines as prescribed by staff who were competent to administer them.
Risks to people's health, safety and well-being were assessed. Staff had access to information about how to manage people's identified risks and support them in a safe way.
People received care by staff they knew and who were familiar with their needs and preferences. It was clear staff enjoyed warm and positive relationships with the people they supported. There were enough staff on duty to meet people's needs in a timely manner.
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. Consent for care and support was being obtained in line with the principles of the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005.
People's care and support needs were assessed and planned for according to their current needs and preferences. People and their relatives had a say in how their care and support was delivered.
We received consistently positive feedback from people and their relatives about the care and support provided by staff.
The registered manager helped to instil practices which were underpinned by values of compassion, kindness and the promotion of independence, values which were shared and practiced by staff. Staff told us how well supported and valued they were by the registered manager.
The service worked in conjunction with external professionals and used innovative practices to help achieve positive outcomes for people.
