St Anthony's - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities

Updated 13 June 2024

Date of assessment 1 October 2024 to 10 October 2024. St Anthony’s – Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities is a care home providing nursing and personal care to up to 34 people, some living with dementia, physical health and mental health conditions. This assessment was carried out to check whether the provider had complied with the warning notice issued at the last inspection in respect to breaches of regulation regarding safe care and treatment and the governance of the service. We found improvements had been made and all breaches had been met. Some further improvements were required to ensure window restrictors that were fully compliant with current guidance were in place and a safe environment was maintained for people and people's risks were managed safely but these were addressed immediately during the assessment. The overall rating for the service has changed from requires improvement to good based on the findings of this inspection.

People felt involved in their care and listened to. People felt able to raise concerns or complaints and found the leadership team to be approachable. People told us staff were kind and caring and knew how to meet their needs and manage risks to them safely. People were supported with positive risk taking in line with their choice. People lived in a home that was clean and were supported by staff who understood how to mitigate the risk of infection. People told us there were enough competent staff to support them and they did not have to wait long for support. People received their medicines as prescribed and medicines were stored safely.
