About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 9 January 2024. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Stonesby House is a residential care home that provides personal care for older people, and people with learning disabilities and/or mental health support needs. At the time of our inspection there were 9 people using the service. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people receiving personal care.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: Equipment was not always used for its intended purpose and was not always safe. The provider failed to ensure the environment was kept clean and properly maintained. The service was worn and in need of renovation.
People were supported by enough staff and safe recruitment checks were in place. People received their prescribed medicines safely. New staff completed an induction program which included completion of The Care Certificate. People were supported by trained and competent staff.
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.
Right Care: Assessments were completed and people told us they felt included in decisions about their care. People were supported to eat and drink enough. The service worked in partnership with health and social care professionals.
Right Culture: Quality assurance systems and service oversight was not always effective. The provider was not proactive and ensuring people had a suitable living environment.
The atmosphere in the service was relaxed and friendly. Staff received regular supervision. Staff and people living at the service had opportunity to raise concerns or make suggestions. The deputy manager and provider were open to feedback during the inspection and took immediate action when concerns were raised.
