Rosedale Nursing Home

Updated 28 November 2020

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008.

This was a targeted inspection looking at the infection control and prevention measures the provider has in place. As part of CQC's response to the coronavirus pandemic we are conducting a review of infection control and prevention measures in care homes.

The service had been identified for use by the Local Authority as a designated care setting in response to the Winter Plan for people discharged from hospital with a positive Covid-19 status. This inspection was to ensure that the service was compliant with infection control and prevention measures.

This inspection took place on 12 November 2020 and was announced.

The inspection took place on 14 November 2017 and was unannounced.

Rosedale Nursing Home is a ‘care home’. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

Rosedale Nursing Home is registered to provide accommodation for persons who require nursing and/or personal care. It is divided into three units; a general nursing unit; a unit for people living with dementia who require residential care and a unit for people living with dementia who require nursing care. There were 41 people living at Rosedale on the day we inspected.

There was a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

At the last inspection, the service was rated good. At this inspection we found the service remained good.

People were protected from the risk of abuse and staff followed the local safeguarding procedures when they suspected abuse.

Risk assessments were completed to reduce the risk of harm. Accidents or incidents were analysed to reduce the risk of reoccurrence.

People's medicines were stored and administered safely. Staff were aware of the infection control measures in place to reduce the risk of the spread of infection.

There were sufficient numbers of suitably trained staff to meet the needs of people safely.

Recruitment procedures were robust to ensure staff were fit and of good character to work with people.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

There were positive interactions between people and staff. Staff knew people well, showed kindness, dignity and respect. Care was person centred and people were provided with choice.

The provider had a system in place for responding to people's concerns and complaints. People were regularly asked for their views. There were effective systems in place to monitor and improve the quality of the service provided.
