About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 May 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Fountains Care Centre is a residential care home providing nursing and personal care for up to 45 people. The service supports older people, some of whom are living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 35 people using the service.
What inspectors found
Advice wasn't always sought from a GP or pharmacist when people needed their medicines differently from how it was prescribed. Cleaning wasn't always effective in people's rooms and communal areas. Improvements were needed to staff deployment to promote people receiving consistent support. Staff were recruited safely, were trained and knew how to safeguard people from abuse. The provider supported people to manage their health-related conditions and maintain records.

The provider's systems and processes were not always effective in ensuring infection prevention and control standards and safe medicines management. However, people were treated with dignity and respect, had access to activities and their independence promoted. The provider had systems to receive feedback which enabled continuous improvement.
