What the CQC found at Beaumont House Care Home
Rated Good: inspectors found the home performing well and meeting their expectations.
What inspectors found, May 2021
Beaumont House was rated Good; inspectors found safe, kind and personalised care with effective management.
This was the first inspection since the home registered in 2019. It was planned but unannounced, with five minutes' notice given from the car park because of COVID-19 procedures. One inspector and a specialist nurse advisor carried out the visit on 22 April 2021.
Inspectors spoke with three people living at the home, relatives and 12 staff. They reviewed care plans, medicine records, recruitment files, training information and management records. They also looked at infection prevention and control measures.
All five areas were rated Good: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. Inspectors found enough staff, safe medicines management, detailed care plans, kind staff, activities and support for family contact. They also found systems for checking quality and making improvements.
Safe staffing and medicines
Inspectors found enough staff to meet people's needs. Medicines were stored securely, records were accurate and staff competence was checked.
