Elmleigh Homes Limited

Staff followed government guidance in relation to wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks, gloves and aprons. The provider ensured all people and staff were following government guidance in relation to COVID-19 testing.

People had a choice about their living environment and were able to personalise their rooms. People's rooms were very personalised, and people were able to decorate their room to reflect their interests and hobbies.

Staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support in the community and people were supported to play an active role in maintaining their own health and wellbeing.

The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe.

Right Care People's care, treatment and support plans reflected their range of needs and this promoted their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. However, we found some care plans were lacking information about people's health needs to guide staff.

People received kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people's privacy and dignity. Staff understood and responded to their individual needs.

Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it.

People could take part in activities and pursue interests that were tailored to them.

Right culture People led inclusive and empowered lives because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management and staff.

Staff turnover was very low, which supported people to receive consistent care from staff who knew them well. This meant people received compassionate and empowering care that was tailored to their needs.
