About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 4 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Sunnywell Care Home is a residential care home providing the regulated activity of personal care for up to 15 people in one adapted building. The service provides support to people who primarily have a learning disability and autistic people. At the time of our inspection, there were 9 people living at the service.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance the Care Quality Commission CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: People were not protected from the risk of harm. Medicines were not always managed safely. Cleaning procedures within the home did not ensure a clean and hygienic environment for people. Not all staff had sufficient training to support them to carry out their roles effectively.
People living at the home each had unique and complex health needs and staff mostly knew people and understood risks to people.
People were mostly 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.
Right Care: Support plans and risk assessments relating to people's health needs and the environment were completed but needed more person-centred information to help protect the health and welfare of people who used the service. The registered manager and staff understood their responsibilities in relation to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards
There were sufficient staff deployed to meet people's needs and wishes. Staff recognised and responded to changes to individual's needs. Staff provided kind, caring, person-centred care and support. Staff communicated with people in ways that met their needs.
Right Culture: Governance arrangements were not as effective or reliable as they should be. Further improvement was needed in the quality assurance processes to identify shortfalls and to drive improvement.
