About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
St Cecilia Care Home is a residential care home providing care and accommodation for up to 17 people in one adapted building. At the time of our inspection there were 11 people living in the home
What inspectors found
The service did not have robust systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service. Systems that were in place were not effective and had not identified the improvements that were required. The provider visited the home regularly, but no formal audits had been completed to identify any shortfalls and to monitor any actions identified.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The service did not have a way of assessing the staff numbers it needed to keep people safe. We have made a recommendation about staffing.
Staff followed infection prevention and control measures. Medicines were managed safely. Staff knew how to recognise, and report abuse.
The provider had appropriate recruitment procedures in place to ensure staff employed by the service were safe to work with vulnerable adults.
Relatives told us communication was good with the service and they were satisfied with the support their relatives received.
People and relatives told us people felt safe with the care and support they or their relative received. People and staff were positive about the registered manager.
The service worked in partnership with health and social care professionals.
People were supported to have 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.
