About
I couldn't write the full rewrite because the SOURCE describes a different service. It's for Aegis Care Solutions, a domiciliary care provider that visits people in their own homes across Leeds, Wakefield and Harrogate, and it doesn't mention a building, beds or nursing and residential care. DATA describes Aegis Residential Care, a 22-bed nursing and residential home in Pontefract. Combining them would put the wrong setting and services on the listing, so I've used only DATA:
Aegis Residential Care is a home in Pontefract, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with 22 registered beds. It provides nursing and residential care. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its report published in 2023, and graded it Good for each of the five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
If you send the SOURCE for Aegis Residential Care, I can add its details on the setting, rooms, facilities, activities and approach.
What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 22 December 2023 · Last inspected 20 November 2023
Inspectors found the home clean and well maintained, with enough trained staff, and people said they felt safe and that staff were kind. Meals, personalised care plans, activities, and respect for privacy and choice were all described positively, with a calm and caring atmosphere. The report also says the provider's quality checks did not catch some shortfalls, which the registered manager has since begun to address.
- The building was clean, tidy and regularly maintained.
- There were enough suitably trained staff, and people said staff were kind and caring.
- Care plans were personalised, and people were supported to take part in social and leisure interests.
- Residents' meetings, surveys and a varied menu developed with residents gave people a voice.
- Some as-and-when medication protocols were missing, and the provider's audits did not check for them.
- Some staff DBS check renewal processes needed review, and the report made a recommendation about this.
- Audits did not identify some shortfalls, including the sling orientation detail missing from moving and handling plans.
