About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 28 July 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Parkside is a care home registered to provide accommodation for three people with learning disabilities and complex needs. The service is also registered to provide personal care. This registration relates to care provided at supported living services. At the time of this inspection the service was providing care at 11 supported living services. At the time of the inspection there were three people living at the care home and 39 people at the supported living services.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
What inspectors found
People spoke positively about the care they received. People felt safe with staff. They felt staff knew them well and were familiar with their situation and care needs.
We observed positive interaction between people and staff and there was a relaxed atmosphere in all the services we visited. People appeared at ease when in the presence of staff. Staff were patient and respectful when interacting and supporting people.
Read the full summary
Appropriate risk assessments were in place and included guidance for staff on how to minimise risks to people. Staff we spoke with understood how to identify and report any abuse concerns.
Medicines were managed effectively in the home and in the supported living schemes we visited.
There were adequate levels of staffing to safely meet people's needs. Appropriate recruitment checks had been carried out to ensure staff were suitable to work with people.
There was a record of essential maintenance carried out. Steps had been taken to protect people from the risk of infections.
People were cared for in a clean and homely environment by staff who were caring, competent and knowledgeable about people's needs. Training and supervision were arranged to ensure staff had the skills to carry out their role.
Staff spoke positively about working for the service and said that they received support from management. They also spoke of effective communication and team work.
People spoke highly of the meals and snacks they received. Alternatives were provided if people wanted
these.
There was some information about people's oral health needs. However, there were no specific care records to instruct staff on how oral health was to be promoted. We have made a recommendation about the documentation of people's oral health care needs.
Staff understood their obligations regarding the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA). People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible.
Management monitored the quality of the services and safety of the service to ensure it remained safe for people. Quality assurance systems and processes were in place to enable management to monitor and improve the quality of people's care.
The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent.
