About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 1 December 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
St George's Nursing Home provides nursing and residential care and support for up to 62 people in single and shared rooms. At the time of the inspection there were 42 people using the service, in single rooms; this was because the home had begun the process of reducing the number of beds available, turning all double rooms into single rooms. The home is a grade 2 listed building in spacious grounds and close to a wide range of community resources.
What inspectors found
Staff protected people from abuse and understood how to recognise and report any concerns they had about people's safety and well-being. Staff assessed people's needs before they started using the service. People had been involved in the care planning process, and in identifying their support needs in partnership with staff. Staff managed people's medicines safely. Infection control was managed well and procedures were in place to prevent the spread of infections.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider followed safe recruitment processes to ensure the right people were employed. Staff received an induction and ongoing training . There were enough staff to keep people safe. 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. Staff assessed any risks to people's health and wellbeing, and these were mitigated.
Staff had formed genuine relationships with people, knew them well and were caring and respectful towards people and their wishes. Staff were dedicated to their roles and in supporting people to achieve their goals and aspirations. Staff supported people to access healthcare professionals and receive ongoing healthcare support. Staff supported people to share their views and shape the future of the care they received. Care plans provided staff with the information they needed to meet people's needs.
Staff worked with other agencies to provide consistent, effective and timely care. We saw evidence that the staff and management worked with other organisations to meet people's assessed needs. The provider and registered manager followed governance systems which provided effective oversight and monitoring of the service.
