About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 11 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Cedar House Care Home is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 31 people. The service provides support to older people, some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 29 people using the service.
What inspectors found
The new provider had developed a comprehensive action plan when they purchased the home, to which significant progress had been made. They had plans to address some outstanding issues, including improving the availability of activities and consistency of care staff. Some care plans and risk assessments lacked detail about people's personalised care needs. Further improvement was needed to the culture of the home to improve staff morale and develop a positive ethos. A vision and values statement had been developed with opportunities for staff to contribute.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were happy with the care they received and said they felt safe. The provider was confident staffing levels were at the correct level, some staff disagreed. We have made a recommendation about this. Safeguarding concerns were investigated and recommendations were implemented. Staff knew about the whistle blowing procedure and could raise concerns, if needed. Health and safety checks and risk assessments were carried out to keep people and the environment safe. Medicines were managed safely and staff followed good IPC practices.
Staff supported people to have enough to eat and drink and to access health care appointments. Improvements were needed to ensure staff received regular formal supervision and a more in-depth induction programme. We have made a recommendation about this.
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.
Complaints were logged and investigated. There was a structured approach to quality assurance.
