During an inspection looking at part of the service
Roselea is a care home that provides accommodation and personal care for up to 11 adults with a learning disability and/or autism in one adapted building. At the time of the inspection 11 people were living at the service.
People's experience of using this service and what we found
Systems were in place to protect people against identified risks from choking. Care plans and risk assessments provided clear guidelines.
Where safety incidents occurred, these were analysed for any lessons to be learned. People's risks were reviewed with health professionals and action taken to keep people safe. Staff knew how to act in the event of a choking incident and were confident to manage each person's risk
We were assured the service was following safe infection prevention and control procedures to keep people safe.
We found several examples of good infection control practices. These included; ensuring people went to venues for activities which were COVID-19 secure.
Why we inspected
We undertook this targeted inspection to check on a specific concern we had following a choking incident. The overall rating for the service has not changed following this targeted inspection and remains Good.
CQC have introduced targeted inspections to follow up on Warning Notices or to check specific concerns. They do not look at an entire key question, only the part of the key question we are specifically concerned about. Targeted inspections do not change the rating from the previous inspection. This is because they do not assess all areas of a key question.
We found no evidence during this inspection that people were at risk of harm from these concerns.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to coronavirus and other infection outbreaks effectively.

Follow up
We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service until we return to visit as per our reinspection programme. If we receive any concerning information we may inspect sooner.
