About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 February 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Pendrea House is a care home that can accommodate up to 16 older people, some of whom may have a diagnosis of dementia. On the day of the inspection there were 14 people living at the service.
What inspectors found
There were enough staff to support people safely. Staff were unhurried in their approach and responded to call bells quickly. Many of the staff had worked at the service for several years, they knew people well and provided consistent care which took account of people's needs and preferences.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People received medicines safely and as prescribed. Staff administering medicines had received training which was regularly refreshed. Competency assessments were completed to ensure staff continued to follow good working practice when administering medicines.
Staff were aware if people were at risk due to their health condition. Risk assessments contained information about how to support people safely.
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 registered manager was supported by a deputy manager and team leaders. Staff told us they were well supported by the registered manager and were kept aware of any changes in people's needs.
There were systems in place to gather stakeholder's feedback. People were asked for their opinions on matters affecting the whole service as well as their individual care needs.
