Comberton Nursing Home

Comberton Nursing home is split across 2 floors, on both floors nursing care is provided to meet a variety of people needs. The home has accessible parking and a maintained garden outside.

People's weights were not effectively monitored. Systems were not in place to closely oversee peoples weight related to their health needs.

Guidance for staff to support people with specific health needs was not always sufficient. There was not always enough staff to care for and monitor people. This left people at risk of unsafe care.

We observed interaction with people. There was a lack of activities and no planned activities were scheduled. This meant we found people were sat in the same position for periods of time.

Mealtimes in the home were not always served in a way that met all peoples needs and preferences. People were not offered choices to where they would like to have meals and who they had their meals with.

The environment lacked person centred detail. People's characteristics were not captured.

People were not supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported best practice.

The provider was asked during our inspection to provide an immediate action plan due to the high risk concerns we found during our inspection visit. The provider sent an action plan that identified timescales to improve high risk areas.
