Background to this inspection

Updated 4 May 2019

The inspection:

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the Act) as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Act, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

Inspection team:

One inspector carried out the inspection.

Service and service type:

Marmion Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care for people who have metal health needs. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provider, and both were looked at during the inspection.

The service had a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission. This means that they and the provider are legally responsible for how the service is run and for the quality and safety of the care provided.

Notice of inspection:

The inspection was unannounced.

What we did:

To help us plan our inspection, we reviewed information we held about the service, including notifications. A notification is information about events that by law the registered manager should tell us about, for example, safeguarding concerns, serious injuries and deaths that have occurred at the service. We also used information the provider sent to us in the Provider Information Return (PIR) to formulate our inspection plan. A PIR is information we require the provider to send to us, at least annually to give us some key information about the service.

We spoke with two people who used the service and two relatives. We spoke with one support worker, one cook, one Registered Mental Nurse and the registered manager. We viewed two people’s care records, we looked at how medicines were administered, stored and recorded. We looked at documents relating to the management and administration of the home, including one staff file.
