Residents stated that they had choice over their daily routine and how they lived their lives. One issue raised during inspection was that some residents felt that lunch was served too early. This issue was brought to the attention of the person in charge at the feedback meeting. Page 6 of 29
Overall findings 1. Governance: how well the centre is organised Outcome: The centre is well organised and managed and complies with the requirements of the Health Act 2007, the regulations and standards. Good governance involves the effective and efficient deployment of resources in accordance with the stated purpose and function of the centre. Governance includes setting clear direction for the service, a commitment to continual improvement and having a system in place to effectively assess and manage risk. Evidence of good practice The person in charge demonstrated good leadership and was actively involved in the day to day operation of the centre. A clear organisational structure was in place. All staff interviewed demonstrated a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities and were able to describe the staff structure and the reporting mechanisms in place to ensure appropriate delegation, supervision and competence in the delivery of care to residents. There was a very clear and concise emergency plan in place. The responsibilities of staff in the event of an emergency was precise. Staff spoken to displayed a good understanding of their role in the plan. The health and safety statement was assessed as being in line with the regulatory requirement. The health and safety committee, which comprised staff, met on a regular basis. The quality of care provided was audited monthly by management on the following areas of practice: falls sustained by residents, forms of restraint used, pressure ulcers, residents with infections and any other new infections. Information from the audit was then used to inform future practice. Some improvements required The statement of purpose did not meet the legislative requirement. A draft format was reviewed by inspectors. However, it did not contain all the information required as per schedule one of the Health Act 2007 (Care and Welfare of Residents in Designated Centres for Older People) Regulations 2009.
