About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 2 September 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Old Orchard is a residential care home registered to provide personal and nursing care for up to 5 people. The service provides support to people who have learning disabilities and/or autistic people. Nursing care was not being provided at this care home. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people using the service.
What inspectors found
Right Support Not enough staff were deployed to meet people's assessed needs for 1:1 support or to support people to follow their interests and take part in activities outside of the care home. The service gave people care and support in a safe, well equipped, well-furnished and well-maintained environment that met their sensory and physical needs. People had a choice about their living environment and were able to personalise their rooms. Staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support in the community.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives. Limitations in staffing levels prevented that. Within the care home, staff supported people in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Right Care People's care plans did not always accurately reflect their specific care needs in respect of modified diets, which were important to mitigate people's risks of choking on food. People received kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people's privacy and dignity. They understood and responded to their individual needs. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it.
Right Culture The provider had not taken action to ensure people received the level of staff support they were assessed as requiring. Staff knew and understood people well, and wanted to enable people to live their life as they wished, but were limited by the provider's staffing levels. The provider's management arrangements also limited the registered manager's ability to progress the improvements to the service which the provider had identified as being necessary. Staff ensured risks of a closed culture were minimised so that people received
support based on transparency, respect, and inclusivity.
