What inspectors found
Relatives spoke positively about the home and the care and support provided by staff. They told us they felt their loved ones were safe living at Ashbourne House. The recruitment process was robust and there were enough staff to care for people safely. Medicines were managed correctly. A minor issue with medicines records was brought to the attention of the registered manager during the inspection and dealt with promptly.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Infection control practices were in place and the home was generally clean. However, we found the flooring and fittings of the downstairs shower room were in a poor condition and difficult to clean. The provider has agreed to refurbish the room within a specified time frame.
Since our last inspection there had been a change in the management of the home, with a new registered manager in post, who worked closely with the area manager. Staff spoke positively about the management team and were happy with changes that had been recently implemented. Staff told us they felt morale and team working had improved and that they felt valued and supported.
There had been an improvement in the quality assurance systems used to monitor the service. Relatives we spoke with were happy with the way the service communicated with them and kept them informed. Regular monthly contact with relatives had recently been introduced to ensure they had an provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns and to provide feedback.
