Working at Elmleigh Homes Limited

Medicine management required improvement. We found one person's medicine administration records had not included their allergies... The service had not always managed incidents affecting people's safety well. We looked at recent incident records and found that on one occasion appropriate actions were not taken following a head injury.

Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it... There was a system in place to monitor staff through regular supervision. The registered manager told us they completed staff supervision every two months.

Audits were completed by the registered manager; however, they were not always used to implement and drive improvement in a timely manner. For example, we found some care plans were out of date and needed to be updated. There was a medicines audit in place... However, we found a missing information on a MAR chart which the audit had not identified.

a small house containing one flat which was occupied by one person. There was a secure car park area with tables and chairs people could use in warmer days and one 'summer style house' which was in the process of being set up to be used for arts and craft and other activities... People could take part in activities and pursue interests that were tailored to them.
