What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 26 May 2022 · Last inspected 5 April 2022
Inspectors visited Breadalbane Residential Home, a care home for older adults, including people living with dementia, which can house up to 15 people over three floors. At the visit there were 13 residents. Staff were described as trained, supported and aware of the Mental Capacity Act, and relationships between residents and staff were warm and respectful, with people enjoying the meals.
- Staff understood how to protect people from abuse and their training and support were appropriate for their roles.
- Medicines were handled through safe procedures, so people received them as prescribed.
- Food was enjoyed by people and took account of their dietary needs and preferences.
- Staff were caring and treated people with dignity and respect, and people were supported to make choices and access health and social care professionals.
- Checks and maintenance of the premises and equipment were not always carried out, so people's safety was not fully assured.
- Monitoring systems were not effective enough to identify the problems found during the inspection.
- Views on staffing levels were mixed, and inspectors recommended the provider review its dependency tool and how staff are deployed.
