This <strong>inspection</strong> incorporated a fit-person interv<strong>ie</strong>w with the recentlyappointed person in charge.Overall inspectors were satisf<strong>ie</strong>d that <strong>Gallen</strong> <strong>Priory</strong> was well-run and there wasevidence that the actions from previous <strong>inspection</strong>s were addressed. The providerand person in charge were committed to providing a high level of care to residentsand promoted the safety of residents whilst ensuring they live as independently aspossible. Staff were knowledgeable about fire safety and the prevention andresponse to allegations of elder abuse. Although there was evidence that the healthand social needs of residents were met some care plans were not suffic<strong>ie</strong>ntlyupdated to reflect the current care status of residents.The quality of residents’ lives was enhanced by the provision of activit<strong>ie</strong>s andopportunit<strong>ie</strong>s appropriate to their assessed needs. There were however additionalimprovements required in risk management, fire safety records, moving and handlingtraining and hot water supply. These areas for improvement are discussed further inthe <strong>report</strong> and are included in the Action Plan at the end of the <strong>report</strong>.Page 4 of 20
