Scarsdale Grange Nursing Home

Accidents and incidents were recorded, and the home manager completed an analysis to ensure trends and patterns were identified and action taken to mitigate future risks. Health and safety checks of the building and equipment were maintained.

The providers recruitment policy ensured staff were recruited safely and pre-employment checks were carried out. There were enough staff available to respond to people in a timely way.

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.

We observed staff interacting with people and found they provided person centred care and support. People were offered choices and given the opportunity to express their views.

Audits were in place to ensure the service operated to the standards expected by the provider. Where issues had been identified, action plans were devised, and items actioned in a timely way.
