About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 July 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Southernwood House is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 28 people. It is in an adapted building. The service provides support to adults of all ages, some of whom may be living with a physical disability or dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 19 people using the service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Southernwood House also provides care to people in their own home. We did not review this part of the care provided as only two people were using the service at the time of the inspection and their care was in the process of being transferred to a new service provider.
What inspectors found
Medicines were not always safely managed and audits in place to monitor the safety of medicines were not effective in keeping people safe. Other audits in the home identified areas for improvement and the manager took action to make changes and enhance the quality of care provided. The manager gathered the views of people using the service and staff to identify areas for improvement.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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.
There were enough staff in place to meet people's needs and staff had received the training needed to provide safe care. Staff had been safely recruited to ensure they were safe to work with people living at the home.
Risks to people receiving care had been identified and care was planned to keep people safe. The home was clean, and staff wore PPE correctly to reduce the risk of infection.
Where concerns were raised the manager worked with the local authority and healthcare professionals to ensure people were safe and well.
