What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 4 May 2023 · Last inspected 20 February 2023

Alderson House is a residential home providing personal care to up to 27 people, including those living with dementia or mental health needs, and 13 people were living there at the time of the inspection. Inspectors found that staff treated people kindly and respectfully, that activities supported people's emotional wellbeing, and that the provider and registered manager were open about how the service was run. The report rates the service as requires improvement, mainly because risk assessments, care records and quality checks were not consistently in place.

Strengths noted
  • Medicines were given safely by staff who had good knowledge of them.
  • Meals were praised for their variety and quality, and staff understood and met people's specific dietary needs.
  • Staff had an induction and training suited to their roles.
  • A wide range of activities was available, and feedback about end of life care was positive.
Areas to improve
  • Risks to people were not always assessed, recorded or reduced, and care plans were not always kept up to date.
  • Some protocols for as-and-when-needed medicines were missing, and medicine storage temperatures were not always effectively monitored.
  • Quality checks did not identify or address all shortfalls, including servicing of lifting equipment, medicines protocols, care records and consent records.
