CQC: Requires improvementReport published 21 June 2022 · Last inspected 29 April 2022
Inspectors visited Caer Gwent, a purpose-built residential care home for up to 61 older people, including some living with dementia, and found 54 residents at the time. The report describes a safe physical environment, positive comments about food and about staff who know people well, and a wide range of activities and healthcare links. The home was still rated requires improvement, as it had been at the previous two inspections.
- Staff were described as kind and caring, and people said they were complimentary about the care they received
- Meals were rated well by people, who mentioned good variety and alternatives
- Care was personalised and people could live out their lives at the home, with their wishes recorded and respected
- People had access to a range of healthcare professionals and services, and the building was adapted to meet their needs
- Some eye medicines were used beyond the manufacturer's recommended time, though they were removed promptly once found
- Auditing systems were not robust enough to catch how medicines should be disposed of, and a fluid-thickening record was inaccurate, which put one person at risk of choking
- Anti-coagulant medicine guidance for people at risk of falls was missing, and the report identifies breaches relating to medicines disposal, audits and care record accuracy
