What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 7 March 2024 (assessment visit 8 January 2024). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Aston House is a residential care home which provides personal care for people with mental health care needs. We completed our on-site assessment visit on 23 January 2024, off site activity began on 17 January 2024. We looked at 3 quality statements following concerns that we had received; Safe and effective staffing; Infection prevention and control; and Medicine optimisation. We found no evidence during this assessment that people were at risk of harm from the concerns raised. The service provided safe and effective care to people. Staffing levels were sufficient to support people appropriately. The home was clean and tidy, and medicines were administered in a safe way.

Safe
Good
People were safe at Aston House. Staff knew people well and were attentive and kind in their interactions with people. People spoke positively about staff and felt there were sufficient staff to meet their needs. Our observations and records confirmed this. Policies and procedures were in place regarding both infection prevention and control, and medicine management to promote people’s safety. Clear guidance was provided to staff to ensure care was delivered in a safe and person-centred way. Staff told us they felt supported in their role and they were recruited in a safe way in line with the provider’s policy. The registered manager had good oversight to promote good, safe practices within the home and action was taken to address concerns and encourage learning when needed.
