“This assessment was undertaken between 3 September 2024 and 14 October 2024. Ashmore Nursing Home is a nursing home providing accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care. It is registered for 36 people. At the time of our assessment there were 26 people living at the service.”

“This inspection was undertaken to follow up on the outstanding breaches of regulation which were identified at our previous inspection. Whilst we found action had been taken to address some issues identified at our last inspection, we found 2 continued breaches of the legal regulations in relation to staffing and good governance. The service did not always provide sufficient staff to meet people’s needs or ensure that they could respond effectively in an event such as an emergency. Safety systems were not always given sufficient priority and changes implemented promptly. There was a quality assurance system, but it was not well developed and meant shortfalls in service provision had not been identified to ensure compliance with regulations and improve standards of care.”

“The registered manager was responsive when concerns were raised and began to take action to address shortfalls identified during the assessment. This included the appointment of additional staff and redeployment of activity staff.”

“Since the last inspection, some improvements had been made to the homes entrance and a new care planning and recording system introduced. Care plans were person centred and outlined people’s needs and preferences. There were systems in place to ensure vital information was shared with the necessary health professionals. Risk assessments were undertaken and equipment such as pressure relieving mattresses were in place to reduce the risk of injury.”

“Staff competency and understanding was checked, and the registered manager supported staff to access learning to develop their skills and knowledge.”
