During a routine inspection
Ryan Care Residential is a residential care home registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to 15 people, including people living with dementia. At the time of our inspection 14 people were living at the home.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People told us they felt safe living at the home and there were enough staff to support them. One person said, “Oh yes I’m safe, I only have to press the button and [staff] are there in seconds.” Systems were in place to protect people from abuse and new staff were safely recruited.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People’s needs were effectively assessed before they were supported by the home and staff worked effectively with other healthcare professionals to ensure people’s health and wellbeing was maintained. All the feedback about the food and drink at the home was positive. One person said, “The food is excellent, I can have a drink or snack anytime I want.”
All the people and relatives we spoke with gave us positive feedback about the staff at the home and we saw the staff knew the people they were supporting well. One person commented, “[The staff] are all great, I’m amazed by them. They’re all looking after us.”
People’s care plans reflected their needs and gave staff the information they needed to support them. People and their relatives were involved in the care planning and review process to ensure people’s care plans were person-centred. There was also a good range of activities on offer to people living at the home.
People and their relatives told us the home was well-led. There was a kind and caring culture amongst staff at the home and the health and social care professionals we spoke with gave us positive feedback about the leadership of the home.
