Adelaide Care Home

Adelaide Care Home is a care home that accommodates 76 people across 4 separate wings, each of which has separate adapted facilities. 2 of the wings specialises in providing care to people living with dementia. There were 69 people using the service at the time of our inspection.

People and their relatives told us they felt safe. Staff understood the types of abuse that could occur and the action to take if they had any concerns. Risks to people were assessed, identified, and safely managed. The home had a system in place to record accidents and incidents and acted on them. People received their prescribed medicines and managed safely. There were enough staff deployed to meet people's needs in a timely manner and the provider followed safe recruitment practices. People were protected from risk of infection as staff followed practices that reduced the risk of infection.

Staff were supported through regular training and supervisions so that they were effectively able to carry out their roles. People's needs were assessed prior to moving into the home to ensure their needs could be met. The registered manager, nurse, and staff understood the requirements of 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; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. Staff told us they asked for people's consent before offering support. People were supported to have enough to eat and drink and had access to healthcare professionals when required, to maintain good health.
