Safe – this means we looked for evidence that people were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. At our last inspection we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has not changed. We saw that regular servicing had taken place on equipment to ensure its safety and protect people from avoidable harm. However, monitoring systems for regular maintenance and checks required review. Systems to assure the provider, people were protected from the risk of fire were not always completed. A system was in place to record and analyse accidents and incidents to assist in preventing reoccurrence. We saw staff delivered care which was respectful. We observed interactions with people were friendly.

All required checks and maintenance to the buildings and equipment were mainly completed or current. However, some monitoring checks required reviewing to be assured the environment was safe. Time simulated evacuations had not taken place to ensure safe and timely evacuation could be achieved in the event of a fire. We could not be assured evacuation of a compartment was in line with guidance. There was nothing recorded within the fire risk assessment to suggest additional measures were needed when the time could not be achieved. The registered manager gave assurances this would be addressed immediately. Feedback from people was generally positive about their personal room environment. Staff told us they were not involved in time simulated evacuations. One staff member said, “We are not involved in evacuations”. The registered manager told us this was an area for improvement, and this would be implemented. We received positive feedback about the environmental improvements in the home and how this was benefiting service users.
