What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 5 November 2021 · Last inspected 28 September 2021
Lavender Villa is a home providing nursing and personal care for people who need mental health support, and had 35 residents at the time of inspection. Inspectors found staff to be kind and familiar with people's needs, and residents spoke well of the support they received. However, the checks used to monitor the safety of care were not thorough enough to catch some shortfalls.
- Staff are described as kind, caring and knowledgeable about the people they support.
- Residents' privacy and dignity are respected, and they are encouraged to stay independent and make their own decisions.
- People enjoy their meals and can choose what they want to eat.
- Residents can take part in activities both inside the home and in the community, and are involved in developing their care plans.
- Quality checks on the safety of care were not always robust enough to identify some problems, and this remains a continued breach of regulation.
- Medicine records did not always give enough detail on how to support people who need medicines given covertly or taken only occasionally, and inspectors made a recommendation about this.
- The quality of care records varied, and the management team was being restructured, with some recruitment still in progress.
