Our view of the service
Moorland Garden Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to a maximum of 21 people. The service provides support to people who have nursing or residential care needs. At the time of our inspection there were 21 people using the service. We carried out our on-site assessment on 27 March, off site assessment activity started on 25 March and ended on 9 May. The inspection was prompted in part by information shared with CQC by The Local Authority following which a person using the service died. This incident is subject to further investigation by CQC as to whether any regulatory action should be taken. As a result, this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident. However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of risk of medicines administration and pressure care. This inspection examined those risks. This service was registered by CQC on 19 December 2023. New services are assessed to check they are likely to be safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led. We looked at 5 quality statements, Safeguarding, Involving people to manage risks, Safe and effective staffing, Medicines optimisation and Governance, management and sustainability.
People's experience of this service
Risks to people were monitored and managed in a safe way, particularly risks associated with pressure care and falls. People received their medicines as prescribed. People's records contained accurate, complete and contemporaneous information. There were systems in place to safeguard people from abuse and avoidable harm. There were enough staff who had been trained, and during inspection we observed warm interactions between people and staff. Staff knew people well and could describe them and their care needs to us. People told us they felt safe. The provider had effective systems in place to monitor the quality of care provided in order to identify risks and drive improvements.
