Read the rest of CQC's summary
People felt safe living at Ocean Breeze Residential Care Home and they were very much at the heart of the service. We received positive feedback from people and their relatives about the care provided.
Staff had received training in safeguarding adults and knew how to identify, prevent and report abuse. There were enough staff to keep people safe.
The risks to people were minimized through risk assessments. There were plans in place for foreseeable emergencies and fire safety checks were carried out.
Relevant recruitment checks were conducted before staff started working at the service to make sure they were of good character and had the necessary skills. However, we did find one staff member had not provided a full employment history. This was addressed at the inspection.
People were supported with their nutritional needs. People received varied meals including a choice of fresh food and drinks.
People were cared for by a motivated staff team, who always put people first. Staff received regular support and felt valued and listened to by management.
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.
