About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 October 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Ferendune Court is a residential care home registered to provide care and accommodation for up to 48 people. Thirty-two people were living at the service at the time of the inspection.
What inspectors found
There were systems in place to ensure people safely received their medicines. However further improvement was needed due to recording errors and while audits had been completed, they did not always demonstrate action was taken where shortfalls had been identified. We received mixed views from the staff team about working at the service. Some told us they were supported and received training, whilst others said there were not enough staff which impacted the quality of care provided. People experienced person centred care from staff who were compassionate and knew people's needs. Staff treated people with kindness, dignity and respect.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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 were protected by the provider's recruitment procedures. The provider made appropriate preemployment checks to ensure that only suitable staff were employed. Staff understood their responsibilities in terms of safeguarding and knew how to report concerns if they suspected abuse. Care plans detailed people's support needs and how care workers should support people to meet those needs. Information varied, with some records being very informative whilst others were written more broadly and lacked details on people's individual preferences.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
