Red Court Care Home

Red Court Care Home is a nursing home providing personal and nursing care to up to 35 people. The service provides support to older people in an adapted building. At the time of our inspection there were 26 people using the service.

The provider managed risks to the premises with a range of checks such as those relating to fire, electrical, gas and water safety. Risks relating to people's care were also assessed and clear guidance was in place for staff to follow to reduce the risks. People's medicines were managed safely by staff. There were enough staff and staff were recruited through processes to check they were suitable to work with vulnerable people. Staff understood how to safeguard people from abuse and neglect. The provider investigated accidents and incidents to check the right action was taken in response, to reduce a risk of reoccurrence. Learning was shared across the organisation.

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 involved in decisions about their care and support.
