About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 December 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Brooklands Nursing Home is a care home which provides nursing care and accommodation.. The service is set over two floors and has communal lounge areas on both floors and a dining area on the ground floor. Lifts connect both levels. Most people living at Brooklands are living with dementia or have a nursing need. The service can accommodate up to 29 people. At the time of our inspection 19 people were living at the service.
What inspectors found
People said they felt safe living at Brooklands and staff were kind to them. However, people said at times they had to wait a long time for staff and staff said they were rushed. The provider took action in relation to this following our inspection. Although there was some good information relating to risks to people, we found people's pressure mattresses were not always on the correct setting and people's call bells were not within their reach. This could leave people at risk of coming to harm.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People received the medicines they needed, but we identified some shortfalls in medicines records. In addition, the provider did not meet the full requirements in relation to the recruitment of new staff. We raised these with the provider at our inspection who took action in response.
People and their relatives said staff were kind and in particular the deputy manager was very supportive of them. We did identify however that staff were not always receiving the training and support they should expect in order to equip them for the role.
Where people had an incident or accident these were responded to, lessons learnt and action taken to prevent further accidents. Staff knew how to recognise and report any safeguarding concerns.
Changes had been made to the service during the pandemic to help reduce any risk of infection. We had no concerns about the infection prevention and control practices of staff.
