What inspectors found
People were supported by staff that were caring, kind and treated them with dignity and respect. Sable Cottage Nursing Home provided a friendly and homely environment for people and visitors.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff knew about people's life history and their personal circumstances. Care plans were detailed and up to date about people's individual needs and preferences. People were encouraged to socialise with each other and some were supported to access the community.
People and relatives said the service was safe. Staff demonstrated an awareness of each person's safety and how to minimise risks for them.
There was an ongoing programme to improve the building and the general environment in which people lived. We made a recommendation that this was reviewed to ensure that the prevention and control of infection was not compromised.
People's concerns were listened and responded to. Accidents, incidents and complaints were used as opportunities to learn and improve the service.
People were supported by staff with the skills and knowledge to meet their needs. Staff had regular training and felt confident in their role. There was no clinical support available to nursing staff and so we made a recommendation to the registered provider regarding this. Staff worked in partnership with local health and social care professionals to keep people healthy.
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.
The service was well led. People, relatives and professionals gave us positive feedback about the quality of care. They said the registered manager was approachable, organised, and acted on feedback. Quality monitoring systems included questionnaires, audits, observation of staff practice and checks of the environment. There were improvement plans developed in response to findings.
