About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Sandringham Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to up to 92 people. At the time of our inspection there were 88 people using the service. The service supports a range of people including older people and people living with a dementia. People are supported in a specially adapted building across 3 floors.
What inspectors found
Medicines were managed safely, and people received their medicines as prescribed. Some medicine records and processes were not always robust, and we have made a recommendation about this. People were kept safe and protected from the risk of abuse. Risks to people were assessed, monitored and managed. Staff were knowledgeable about people's needs. The environment was safe, and health and safety checks were up to date. The service was clean, and staff had access to appropriate PPE. There were enough staff to safely support people and staff were recruited safely.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The service was well-led and there was a positive and person-centred culture. There were clear governance and quality assurance systems in place. Regular audits were carried out and the registered manager and provider understood their regulatory requirements. Some medicine issues had not been identified within the audits, but the registered manager responded immediately to our feedback. People and their relatives were regularly involved, and their feedback sought. The management team was approachable. The registered manager was pro-active and committed to working with other professionals and developing positive and innovative ways of working.
