About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Marsh House is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to 28 people aged 65 and over at the time of the inspection. The service can support up to 33 people. The home is situated in a rural area close to the towns of Chorley and Leyland. There is a large dining room, communal areas and a conservatory area. A well maintained garden is available at the rear of the home for people's leisure.
What inspectors found
The provider had various methods to assess, monitor and improve the quality of the service, however, these had not identified and addressed the issues we found. We have made a recommendation about this. We have also made a recommendation about the management of some medicines. The home was clean and hygienic, and staff were seen to wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Staff were employed following a safe and robust recruitment process. Safeguarding training was mandatory, and staff were aware of the processes to follow to ensure they could keep people safe.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff felt supported by the management team through the induction and ongoing training they received. 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. Mealtimes were relaxed and organised around people's individual daily routines. People were supported to have access to healthcare professionals and their healthcare needs had been met. The service worked in partnership with other organisations to ensure they followed good practice and people in their care were safe.
People and staff told us there was a very positive culture at Marsh House. One staff member explained, "[Registered manager] likes positivity, she wants a happy place for staff and residents." The management team positively engaged in the inspection process and the registered manager clearly understood their regulatory responsibilities. The registered and deputy manager had been responsive in implementing positive change and working with health and social care professionals to improve people's quality of life.
