Working at Beaconsfield Residential Care Home

The service was in breach of legal regulation in relation to people’s safe care and treatment including shortfalls in people’s medicine management, infection prevention and control and managing risks.

Safe recruitment processes were still not being followed to ensure sure suitable staff were employed. ...the provider failed to obtain satisfactory verification, so far as reasonably practicable, of the reason why the staff members employment in those positions had ended.

The manager had a training matrix in place which evidenced most staff had completed most of their statutory and mandatory training via e-learning. However, most staff had not completed Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training.

There has been no registered manage in the service since 4 August 2024. The provider had a manager in post who was applying to be registered.

There was no staff allocated to support people specifically with activities , no activity schedule and we did not observe any activities taking place within or organised by the provider outside of the service during our 2 on-site visits.
