About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Admirals Rest is a residential service providing personal care for up to 6 people with mental health support needs. The service consists of one adapted building, which includes individual bedrooms and communal spaces and an accessible garden. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people using the service.
What inspectors found
People and their relatives told us people felt safe with the care and support they or their relative received. However, despite some positive feedback, we found concerns with environmental risks, staff recruitment and management oversight which placed people at increased risk of harm.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider had systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service, however they did not identify and address the issues we found during the inspection.
Safe staff recruitment procedures were not being followed.
Environmental risks were not always safely managed. Risk assessments in place identified and assessed risks associated with people's care and support with guidance for staff to follow.
People received their medicines safely and as prescribed. Staff had received safeguarding training and were able to demonstrate an understanding of their responsibility to report any concerns.
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.
The registered manager sought the views of people using the service. Staff told us they were well supported. People and their relatives told us they were satisfied with the service.
