Gable Court Care Home

Gable Court Care Home is a residential care home providing the regulated activities accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care and treatment of disease, disorder or injury to up to 50 people. The service provides support to older people, some of whom have nursing care needs and/or are living with dementia. At the time of our inspection there were 49 people using the service. This is a purpose build care home, spread over three floors. The upper 2 floors provide nursing and personal care while the ground floor provides support with personal care.

Systems were in place to protect people from the risk of abuse. Risk assessments had been carried out to identify the risks people faced. These included information about how to mitigate those risks. Steps had been taken to help ensure the physical environment was safe. There were enough staff working at the service to meet people's needs and the provider had robust staff recruitment practices in place. Medicines were managed in a safe way. Infection control and prevention systems were in place. Accidents and incidents were reviewed to see if any lessons could be learnt from them.

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.
