Meyer House Nursing and Residential Care Home

Meyer House Nursing and Residential Care Home is a care home service that accommodates up to thirty four people across two floors in one adapted building. There were twenty-eight people using the service at the time of our inspection.

People told us they felt safe. Staff were following current government guidance in relation to infection prevention and control and there were appropriate procedures in place to reduce the risk of spread of infections. People's medicines were managed safely. There were safeguarding procedures in place and staff understood these procedures. Risks to people were assessed and staff were aware of the action to take to minimise risks where they had been identified. There were enough staff to meet people's care and support needs. Safe recruitment checks took place before staff started work at the home.

Assessments of people's care needs were carried out when they started using the service. Nursing staff and care staff received training and support relevant to people's needs. People said they liked the food provided at the home and they were supported to maintain a balanced diet. People had access to a range of healthcare services when they needed them. The design of the premises was meeting people's needs. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
