During a routine inspection
People were involved in a wide range of activities. One person we spoke with said, ' I helped with the some cleaning today and will help with the lunch before going into town.'
Care staff we spoke with explained their role in the home which included how they supported people that used the service to achieve an independent lifestyle.
We found that people's support plans were detailed and took account of people's individual needs and how this would be supported.
We looked at the provider's quality assurance systems and found that there were suitable arrangements in place to monitor and improve the service.
When we visited we found that the provider was registered for the regulated activities of diagnostic and screening procedures and treatment of disease, disorder or injury. We however found that the manager was registered only in respect of the regulated activity accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care. The registered manager told us that they did not carry out diagnostic and screening procedures or treatment of disease, disorder or injury. We have advised the provider to have these regulated activities removed from their conditions of registration.
