About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 October 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Westwood care home is a care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 16 people. The service provides support to older people some of who are living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 16 people using the service. Accommodation is split across two floors within one building and has a stair lift in place.
What inspectors found
Staff were not always trained and assessed as competent to administer medicines. This was identified at the last inspection and the provider had failed to make improvements. Protocols for "as and when required" medicines needed more guidance for those people unable to communicate their needs.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff were safely recruited and there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
Systems were in place and regular audits and checks carried out to monitor and manage safety within the service. Work was ongoing to address issues identified with the environment such as the carpet which needed replacing on the ground floor.
There was a positive culture within the service led by the registered manager. Staff were confident in the management team and felt supported in their roles.
Some Improvements had been made since the last inspection and the registered manager and provider were keen to continue to further develop the service.
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.
