About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 13 January 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Langley Lodge Residential Home is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
At the time of our inspection there were 20 people using the service. Langley Lodge Residential Home can accommodate up to 20 people in individual or double bedrooms in one adapted building. It is a two-storey building with a stair lift to access the first floor.
What inspectors found
Staff took action to keep people safe from possible harm. However, actions taken were not always done in the least restrictive way. This included measures to restrict some people's movement around the service. This meant that people were not always supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not always support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service did not support this practice. The registered manager took action immediately to make the necessary improvements.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Fire policies and risk assessments had not considered all the necessary information to ensure that the risks to people's safety had been reduced as much as possible in the event of a fire. We informed the fire service of our concerns and they completed a full audit and issued a Notice of Deficiencies.
The governance system had failed to identify the areas for improvement that we found during the inspection. Potential new staff to the service underwent checks to make sure they were suitable to work with people. However, a lack of auditing of these records showed there were gaps in some staffs' employment history that had not been explored. Not all staff had completed their refresher training when due. The registered manager had not always completed notification of certain events to the CQC as required. The manager had not reviewed the tool they used to determine staffing levels to ensure that the number of staff working was appropriate to meet the needs of people in a timely and safe manner. Feedback was mixed about if the staffing levels were adequate.
Staff were following current government guidance around good infection control procedures. Medicines were being administered as prescribed. Written procedures were in place to advise staff when to administer "When required" medications. Accidents and incidents were being analysed to ensure that themes and trends were identified and the necessary action taken to prevent a recurrence.
Staff used their training knowledge to safeguard people wherever possible and support people to keep safe from poor care and abuse. If staff had any concerns about people, they knew where to report this both internally and outside of the service. Staff spoke favourably of the management team and stated that they felt supported in their roles.
