Rossetti House

Rossetti House is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to 64 older people at the time of the inspection. The service can support up to 70 people. Rossetti House accommodates people across 6 separate units; one of the units specialised in providing care to people living with dementia. Other units were specifically dedicated to nursing and residential care.

This care home is run by two companies: Care UK Community Partnerships Ltd and WT UK Opco 4. These two companies have a dual registration and are jointly responsible for the services at the home.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found

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 were provided with opportunities during initial assessment to express their needs, wishes and preferences regarding how they received care and support.

People’s needs were assessed and resulting support plans provided guidance to staff on how people were to be supported. Support in planning people’s care, treatment and support was personalised to reflect people’s preferences and personalities, however, more detail needed to be captured in care plans.

The staff had received training regarding how to keep people safe and they were aware of the service safeguarding and whistle-blowing policy and procedures. Staffing was arranged in a flexible way to respond to people’s individual needs. Recruitment practices were robust.

Staff demonstrated a detailed knowledge of people’s needs and had received training to support people to be safe and respond to their support needs

There were suitable arrangements in place for the safe storage, receipt and administration of people’s medicines. The service maintained daily records of how peoples support needs were meet and this included information about medical appointments.

Staff respected people’s privacy and staff worked with people in a kind way that responded to their needs. There was a complaints procedure for people, families and friends to use and compliments could also be recorded.

We saw that the service had taken time to understand people’s individual way of communicating in order that the service staff could respond appropriately to people.

The provider had quality monitoring systems in place these were used to bring about improvements to the service as the service developed.
