About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 April 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Heather's is a specialist residential service providing accommodation and personal care to a maximum of 34 people, inclusive of respite service. The service provides support to people with alcohol and/or substance misuse. The Heather's is an adapted building which includes double bedrooms for people and ensuite facilities. At the time of our inspection there were 27 people using the service.
What inspectors found
The home was clean, and the risk of infection was reduced by effective infection prevention and control measures being followed. The provider had refurbished some areas of the home and had plans for further development. People were supported by sufficient staff who received training to support them in their role. People's risks were assessed, and care plans put in place to support people in the way they wanted. We identified some inconsistencies in care plans, but the provider took immediate action to address this.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People experienced safe care from staff who understood how to protect them from abuse and avoidable harm. Risks to people's safety were mitigated and people received their medicine as prescribed. Where incidents or accidents occurred, these were investigated and analysed to reduce the risk of re occurrence.
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.
People's hydration and nutritional needs were met, and people told us they enjoyed the food provided at The Heathers.
The culture we observed within the service was open and friendly. Senior team members were visible throughout the service. Staff said they were well supported by the registered manager and senior team. Regular audits and checks were carried out by the team leaders and the registered manager. These were used to review the quality and safety of the service.
