We carried out this focused 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, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

We reviewed the action plan the provider sent to us following our comprehensive inspection on 5 October 2015. We found the assurances the provider had given in the action plan in order to become compliant with the regulations had been met.

This inspection took place on 21 December 2015 and was unannounced. The inspection was carried out by a single Adult Care Inspector.

Before we visited the home we checked the information that we held about this location and the service provider. We checked all safeguarding notifications raised and enquires received. No concerns had been raised since their last inspection on 5 October 2015.

During this inspection, we checked to see what improvements had been made since our last inspection. We saw all staff employed at the home a schedule in place for a minimum of six one to one supervision sessions per year and an annual appraisal.

We carried out this focused 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, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

We carried out an unannounced focused inspection of this service on 21 December 2015. A breach of legal requirements was found following the comprehensive inspection on 5 October 2015, the provider wrote to us to say what they would do to meet legal requirements in relation to the breach.

We undertook this focused inspection to check that they had followed their plan and to confirm that they now meet legal requirements. This report only covers our findings in relation to this requirement. At the last inspection on 5 October 2015 we asked the provider to take action to make improvements. We asked the provider to provide staff with a minimum of six one to one supervision sessions annually. During this inspection we found the provider to be compliant.

The service had a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission 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.
