Our current view of the service

Good

Updated 26 February 2024

Eversfield House is a care home providing personal care to up to 24 people. At the time of our assessment there were 23 people using the service. The assessment took place between 19 Mar to 10 Apr 2024. We undertook this assessment because we received concerns about staffing arrangements and management and oversight of the service. The service had improved. Risks to people were now assessed and better managed. The environment had been made safer. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs. Staff were trained and well supported. Recruitment checks were undertaken to make sure staff were suitable to support people. Medicines were now better managed. People were involved in assessments and reviews of their needs. People could state their choices and preferences and care and support was tailored to their specific needs. Staff knew people well and understood their needs and preferences for how their care and support should be provided. Management and oversight of the service had improved. The home manager was suitably skilled and experienced and well-liked by people and staff. Governance arrangements were now effective and there were regular checks and audits of the safety and quality of the service. People and staff feedback was used to improve the service. The home manager also used leaning to continuously improve the service. However, the provider was not meeting conditions of their CQC registration. The service did not have a registered manager in post and the provider had not submitted statutory notifications about key events at the service, which they are required to do.
