What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 18 March 2019 · Last inspected 22 February 2019
Inspectors found Bethany House, a care home for up to 18 people aged 65 and over, providing good care at the time of the visit, when 16 people lived there, some of them living with dementia. Staff were described as knowing people well, treating them kindly and respecting their dignity, and supporting their choices, meals and social interests. Since the previous inspection, which rated the home as requires improvement, the report credits a new manager and the provider's operations manager with clearer leadership and better systems.
- Care is person-centred, built around each person's personal, health and social needs and interests.
- Staff are described as well trained, supported and sufficient in number to respond to people's needs, and as kind and caring.
- Good working relationships with health and social care professionals help people stay well and get quick attention for health issues.
- The home is described as well maintained, comfortable, clean and free of unpleasant odours, and people praised the quality and homely style of the food.
- Medicines management has improved, but the report says it remains a focus, with continued emphasis on staff training and competency.
