About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 17 November 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Greenfield House is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 10 people. The service provides support to adults with learning disabilities and autistic people who may also have physical disabilities, sensory impairments and/ or dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 7 people using the service; 5 people lived in the main building and 2 people lived in the flat, which was still part of the building. The flat had its own kitchen and living room and both people had their own separate bedrooms.
What inspectors found
Right Support Improvements were needed around regular environmental checks and repairs needed to be completed swiftly where safety concerns had been highlighted. On-going refurbishment was taking place in the home's communal areas and 1 person's bedroom needed redecorating to meet their sensory needs. People were able to access the communal areas of the home and had their own space. People were able to access a sensory room if they wanted to.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider was considering a reduction in the maximum number of people the home was registered to support. This would allow for some changes to be made to the building which would aim to better support people who were living in the service to have more independence and achieve better outcomes. This would also be more reflective of the 'Right support, right care, right culture' guidance.
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 did not always support this practice. Improvements were needed around recording of decision-making.
Right Care Improvements were needed around people's care plans and risk assessments. Improvements were needed to ensure robust governance systems identified areas for improvement and to make sure people's safety was maintained. Staff were kind and promoted people's dignity and privacy. Staff knew people and their care needs well.
Right Culture Improvements were needed to ensure people were empowered and their independence was promoted. People had recently started taking part in activities they enjoyed again. This had not been happening
regularly because of changes in staff, staff training and staffing levels. People were supported by staff who cared about their mental and physical well-being. The values of management supported a positive, open culture.
