About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
St Martins Residential Home is a care home providing accommodation and personal and care to 16 people with mental health needs. At the time of the inspection there were 13 people living in the home.
What inspectors found
Risks in relation to people's care had not been effectively assessed and medicines were not always managed safely. There was a lack of understanding around the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and, it's application. The provider did not show the appropriate knowledge around their responsibilities in relation to finance and consent. The systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service were not always used effectively to identify and mitigate risks. We have made a recommendation regarding recruitment.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives. Staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; however, the policies and systems in the service did not support this practice.
The registered manager had improved the environment and the safety checks where up to date however we identified additional fire safety improvements were required.
Staff received regular training, supervisions and attended staff meetings and there were enough staff on duty on the day of inspection to meet people's needs. Referrals were made to other professionals in a timely when people living in the home were in need.
Feedback we received from staff, people and relatives was positive in regard to the registered manager. We observed support being provided in the home and saw this was done in a caring, responsive, and patient manner. We saw people were comfortable in the presence of staff and positive relationships had developed between people receiving support and staff.
People were consulted with in the form of residents meeting s and quality assurance questionnaires. There was evidence of how the registered manager acted on people's opinions.
