What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 21 December 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Far Fillimore is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care to up to 26 older people, some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 20 people using the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's experience of the service and what we found: People were not always safeguarded from the risk of abuse and action was not always taken to mitigate the risk of harm to people following incidents and accidents. Systems in place did not support continuous learning. People's risk assessments were not always followed, and this put them at risk.

The environment was not always safe for people. Window restrictors did not meet health and safety guidance and safety checks were not always undertaken on a regular basis. Although the home was clean, there was a malodour in the ground floor bedroom corridor.

Quality monitoring systems had not ensured that the service was safe. The registered manager undertook monthly audits, however these were not effective in analysing trends and identifying improvements.

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.

The last rating for this service was Good and the report published on 23 April 2018.
