About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Mariners Park Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to people, some of whom were living with dementia. At the time of inspection, there were 36 people living in the home. The home is part of a range of services provided by Nautilus Welfare Fund to former seafarers and their families.
What inspectors found
Systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service were not fully effective in identifying areas of the service that required improvement or ensuring conditions of registration were adhered to. The service had not addressed all the issues raised at the last inspection.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Whilst care plans had been improved, further work was needed to these as they contained conflicting information regarding people's needs and the support they required. Records did not show that care was always delivered as planned, such as repositioning support. We found the systems in place to manage people's medicines were unsafe and risks to people were not always assessed and managed robustly, which placed them at risk of harm.
People were supported by trained staff who had been safely recruited. There were sufficient staff available to provide support to people when they needed it. Systems were in place to help minimise the spread of infections within the home.
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 supported this practice. People's consent was sought in line with the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
Records showed that people's nutritional needs and preferences were assessed, and kitchen staff had access to this information. People told us they enjoyed the meals available; they had plenty to eat and drink and there was always a choice of meal.
Feedback regarding the care and support people received was positive. People told us they were well cared for, and that staff were kind, caring and worked in ways that protected their privacy. Staff encouraged people's independence where possible and systems in place supported people to be involved in decisions regarding their care. Support provided to people at the end of their lives was praised by relatives.
A range of activities were available, and people were supported to maintain relationships that were important to them.
People and their relatives told us the home was well managed and they could raise any complaints or concerns they had with the knowledge they would be listened to, and action would be taken to address the issues.
