During an inspection looking at part of the service
At this inspecton we found sufficient staffing to meet the needs of the two people who lived at the home. We spoke with a team leader who said 'We have more than enough staff.' A care worker said 'We're a bit over staffed now.'
At the inspection in December 2011, in order to maintain compliance, improvements were needed related to the premises. Some fixtures and fittings were dated in appearance and not adequately maintained. This meant that people were not protected from the risks associated with unsafe or unsuitable premises. We followed up on the improvements needed at this inspection and found that the areas of the home used by people and staff were adequately maintained.
On the day of our inspection two people were living at the home and receiving care from the service. We, the CQC spoke with two people, the manager, team leader, two housekeepers and the cook/maintenance person. We looked at two care plans.
