About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 9 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Fleetwood Nursing Home provides accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care or treatment of disease, disorder, or injury. The service can support up to 30 older people, including those with mental health conditions. At the time of our inspection there were 20 people using the service. The property is set over 2 floors with lift access to the upper floor. There were several communal areas and a large rear garden for people to enjoy. Aids and adaptations were in place to meet people's individual needs.
What inspectors found
Relatives felt people were safe and the registered manager was responsive to concerns. However, fire safety measures were not always in line with guidance and some information conflicted. Potential environmental hazards also needed consideration. Records identified low levels of training in subjects required to keep people safe or meet individual needs. Whilst care records were detailed and risk assessments in place, appropriate mitigation was not always considered. The home had systems for the safe handling, storage and disposal of medicines and we saw good infection prevention and control practices.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not 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. We have made a recommendation around this.
Though audits and checks were in place, these were not always effective. A number of concerns around quality assurance, risks and regulatory requirements were identified during inspection and management monitoring had not picked this up. From observations, people seemed happy and relaxed. When asked what they thought of the staff, 1 person said, "I love them all, they are caring and look after me." A relative told us they hoped to move into the home because their loved one was so happy and well looked after. People, relatives and staff were engaged through regular conversations, meetings and surveys. The team worked together or in partnership with others to achieve good outcomes.
