About the service: Seagrave Court is a service which provides care and support to people living in ‘supported living’ settings, so that they live as independently as possible. People’s care and housing are under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate the premises used for supported living: this inspection looked at people’s personal care and support. There were 24 people using the service at the time of our inspection.People’s experience of using this service:
People that we spoke to said that Seagrave Court was a caring place to live and that staff treated them with kindness and respect.
The registered manager showed evidence of ongoing quality monitoring across all aspects of the service. Any concerns raised by residents’ relatives or staff were investigated and addressed. This was also used to inform improved practices throughout the home.
People’s health and social care needs were managed well by management and the staff team. There were positive relationships with professionals which supported people’s overall wellbeing.
Medicine was administered safely and there were clear protocols in place for medicine which was taken when required.
People had enough to eat and drink. People were offered choices and had the opportunity to pay for a meal in the restaurant or prepare their own food in their apartment. There was a choice of socialising with other people using the service or remaining in their own space.
There were a variety of activities, both to keep people occupied and to entertain them. There were also physical activities to assist with people’s mobility. People were consulted on what they wanted to do, giving people choice and control.
