About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 8 July 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Linfield House is a care home providing personal and nursing care for up to 54 older people. The service supports people with a variety of health needs including Parkinson's and Diabetes across five suites, two of which were designed to support people living with Dementia. There were 47 people using the service at the time of inspection.
What inspectors found
People were supported by staff who knew them well, they were relaxed and engaged with a variety of activities. The atmosphere of the service was calm. A visiting professional told us, "On the Richmond unit, care assistants interact particularly well with residents, I see lots of activities and find care assistants sitting and chatting with residents, they are not just task focussed".
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were cared for by enough staff who responded to their requests appropriately. One person told us, "The girls are very helpful and I definitely feel safe". They had a sensor mat and call bell and advised when triggered, "The girls come within seconds".
Staff were observed to treat people with respect and kindness. People were seen to be given choices which were respected. For example, staff offered additional helpings at lunch time and different options if people changed their mind about their meal choice.
Staff told us they felt supported by management, they were informed of changes to the management structure and said the changes were positive. One staff member commented, "They listen and act, not all managers are like that and its appreciated by us".
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.
