About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 31 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Park Hall is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 60 people. The service provides support to adults and older people, some of whom may have dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 58 people using the service. Park Hall accommodates people in one adapted building over 2 floors.

What inspectors found

Quality assurance systems were not robust enough. People did not always have health-specific risk assessments in place. Medicines were generally safely managed, although some 'as and when' protocols needed more details. Building safety checks were completed. People and their relatives felt they were safe and protected from abuse. There were enough safely recruited and suitably trained staff. Staff were preventing infections in the home and visitors were supported to come into the home safely. Lessons were learned when things went wrong.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People had care plans in place, but some were not updated to reflect a change in need and actions had not been taken to seek professional input. People's cultural and religious needs were considered as part of their care planning. Staff were supported through supervisions and meetings. People were supported in line with their dietary needs. The home was clean and well-maintained. Staff supported people in line with other professionals' recommendations.

Systems in place were not always robust enough to identify errors or to make sure they were acted on in a timely manner. People, relatives and staff felt the home was well-managed. There was a learning culture in the service and an action plan in place to address areas of concern. The home manager was responsive to our feedback and resolved issues both during and after the inspection.

No one was at the end of their life, specific training for staff had been planned around this area of support. People had personalised care plans in place. People's communication had been considered as part of their care plans. People were supported to participate in activities of their own choice and staff supported people to maintain contact with their relatives. People and relatives were able to raise concerns.

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.

Staff were caring and respected people's dignity and promoted their independence. Staff listened to people and their relatives.
