About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 November 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Maple Leaf House is a nursing home providing personal and nursing care to up to 48 people. The service provides support to older people and those with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 45 people using the service. The home is purpose built to support people with living with dementia. It accommodates people on one floor with three wings, with a number of communal lounges, dining areas and quiet spaces. People have access to a secure outdoor space.
What inspectors found
Records in relation to medicines were not always completed and best practice guidance in relation to medicine disposal was not always followed. People's risk assessments were not always reviewed following changes in their needs, such as after an incident. There were enough staff to meet the needs of the people using the service, however increased use of agency staff had impacted on the service providing person centred care and support. The home was clean and well maintained. Safeguarding processes were robust and ensured people were protected from the potential risk of abuse.
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.
Actions to improve the service or mitigate risk were not always effective. People's care records were not always kept up to date. The provider had not managed the impact of increased use of agency staff on the people's care and support. The culture within the service was not always positive; staff and relatives did not always feel communication with management was effective. The registered manager was open and transparent, understood their regulatory responsibilities and engaged with the inspection process. The service demonstrated joined up working with a range of professionals.
