We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

As part of CQC’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are looking at the preparedness of care homes in relation to infection prevention and control. This was a targeted inspection looking at the infection control and prevention measures the provider has in place.

This inspection took place on 15 April 2021 and was announced.

Breadalbane Residential Home is a care home for up to 15 older people. It is a converted house which has been adapted and extended to provide accommodation over three floors.

At the last inspection, the service was rated Good.

At this inspection we found the service remained Good.

Why the service is rated Good

People received support which was individual to their needs. Risks were minimised, wherever possible, whilst maintaining people’s independence. Staff received good training and support which helped them be effective in their roles. People had choice and control of their own lives. The service provider’s policies and systems were up to date and effective. We observed a relaxed atmosphere throughout the home during our inspection. The registered manager ensured the quality of the service was monitored, and improvements were made when required. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service support this practice.
