About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 8 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Aylestone Grange is a small residential care home. Staff are registered to provide support to people with a mental health condition and/or substance misuse needs. At the time of the inspection, 9 people were living at the service but only 2 people received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
What inspectors found
Staff did not always have clear written guidance on how to support people. However, staff had received training and had good knowledge of people's needs. Therefore, this poor documentation had not caused unsafe care. Medicines were mostly managed safely. Some improvements were needed to the documentation of 'as needed' medicines. However, because staff had good knowledge of people's medicine needs this did not impact people's safety.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
There were not always mental capacity assessments recorded for people. This lack of recording meant we were not assured that people's ability to make decisions had been assessed. However, staff had good knowledge on how to support people to make decisions.
There were enough staff and these staff were safely recruited. Incidents were managed safely. People were kept safe from abuse. Professionals visited the service and staff had good knowledge of how these professionals supported people.
The care home was not always well managed. This is because concerns related to care planning, 'as needed' medicines and mental capacity assessments had not always been resolved in a timely way. Staff fed-back positively about the registered manager and advised they supported them well.
