What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 1 February 2023 · Last inspected 18 January 2023
Inspectors found that Orchard House, which cares for around 68 people with mental health needs or dementia in one adapted building, provides a good standard of care. People have their own bedrooms and access to shared lounges, and the report describes residents as content there and staff as feeling backed and heard. Safety, staffing and the way decisions are made in people's interests were all judged to be in order.
- Staff understood and followed safeguarding procedures.
- Medicines were handled safely and infection control measures were in place.
- Staffing levels were judged sufficient to protect people.
- People were supported to make their own choices, with the least restrictive approach used and decisions made in their best interests.
- The inspection was prompted partly by a notified incident in which a person died. CQC is still investigating that incident, and this inspection did not examine its circumstances.
- The notification raised questions about how moving and handling risks were managed, which inspectors examined, though they found no evidence that people were at risk of harm from this.
