Stanwell Rest Home

Stanwell Rest Home is a care home for people living with dementia, a mental health need or other needs. The service supports up to 38 people across a main building and in eight purpose built apartments. People could access multiple communal lounge areas and there is a communal garden area. At the time of the inspection there were 33 people receiving care.

We found improvements were required to ensure people's medicines were stored and managed safely, and in line with manufacturers advice. Some individual risks to people were not always identified or thoroughly assessed, and records relating to people's care was not always complete or up to date. People were supported by staff who knew them and their needs well. Staff understood how to keep people safe and raise concerns. People were able to have visitors to the service and the provider ensured infection risks to people were considered and managed in line with national guidance. 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; however, the systems in the service did not consistently ensure people's mental capacity to consent was assessed in line with relevant legislation. People's nutritional needs were met, and people told us they enjoyed the food on offer at the home. People could access appropriate support from staff to meet their health care needs. The provider had made improvements to the building since our last inspection and planned works were on-going to fully embed national guidance on dementia friendly premises.
