During an inspection looking at part of the service
Court House Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care. The provider is registered to accommodate up to 60 people. The home was split into three units; two were for older people and one for younger adults. Midsummer Unit provided accommodation for 25 older people. Beacon Unit provided accommodation for 16 older people. The third unit, Holly Bush Unit provided accommodation for 19 younger, physically disabled adults. On the days of our inspection there were 49 people living at the home.
People we spoke with said they felt safe living at the home. Staff recognised the signs of abuse and understood what action they should take if they had any concerns. Risk assessments were in place for staff to follow to keep people safe from harm.
People were supported to have their medicines safely and checks were undertaken to ensure these were administered as prescribed.
Staffing levels were reviewed by the registered manager to ensure staff could meet the changing needs of people living at the home.
The risk of infections and accidental harm was reduced, as staff used the knowledge and equipment provided to do this.
The provider and the registered manager checked on the safety and quality of the care provided to people.
