The home has accessible wet rooms and bathrooms, with assisted bathing, supporting people with mobility issues to still enjoy a bath. Each bedroom has an emergency call system for that extra peace of mind. People living in the home said the staff were kind, patient and helpful and they felt safe at Guy’s Court. They told us that they would tell staff or their relatives if they were upset about anything and they would deal with the problem. At the last inspection on the 6th January 2014 the service was meeting the requirements of the regulations that were inspected at that time. People who lived at Guys Court and relatives /friends knew how to raise a concern or to make a complaint.
See CQC's page explaining ratings for more details about ratings and inspection practices of care homes in England. Some people had limited verbal communication and understanding and were unable to hold a conversation with us. To help us understand their experiences of living in the home we observed the care they received and the interaction by staff. We found examples where the home had responded to changes in people’s needs. For example a referral had been made to the General Practioner when one person had lost weight over a period of time. However the action plan informed us the person required to be weighed weekly.
Guy's Court Residential Care Home
Care records we looked at contained details of people’s preferences, interests, likes and dislikes. Relatives we spoke with told us they had been consulted about their relative’s care and were informed of any changes that occurred. People who lived at the home told us their views and choices were listened to by the staff and registered manager. We found care records of people who needed assistance with personal care, potential skin breakdown and pressure sores were receiving support they required. This was in terms of up to date information of the person’s condition, repositioning charts to reduce the risk of pressure areas developing and appropriate body mapping documentation. Care plans, risk assessments and daily reports indicated checks had taken place.
People who lived at the home were encouraged and supported to maintain relationships with their friends and family members. Relatives we spoke with told us they were always made welcome at any time. Risk assessments had been developed to minimise the potential risk of harm to people during the delivery of their care. Care records showed they were reviewed and any changes were recorded. Staff spoken with had received safeguarding training and understood their responsibility to report unsafe care or abusive practices.
Care home group
We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. There are 37 spacious bedrooms, two of which a double rooms for couples and some are en-suite.
We made a recommendation that the service ensures records are kept up to date of actions identified in care plans to ensure people were receiving the right care at the right time. There were a number of people living with dementia at the home. There were specific staff responsible for organising meaningful activities designed to stimulate people with dementia. Staff were seen to be playing various games in the afternoon.
Specialisms / services
We saw staff encouraging people to drink their mid morning drinks. The registered manager used a variety of methods to assess and monitor the quality of care at Guys Court and told us they were supported by the organisation. Also and staff and ‘resident’ meetings to seek the views of people about the quality of care being provided took place on a regular basis.
This site offers providers of services, accommodation and related advice a free opportunity to advertise what you do. The site’s 4 million visitors a year comprise roughly 45% older people, 45% younger family and relatives, and 10% professionals who work with older people. At this inspection we found the provider did not have safe medication procedures in place to ensure people received their medication safely. This was because documentation was not accurate and up to date which put people at risk.
Your details
We looked at medication administration records of people who lived at Guys Court and found them to be correct and up to date. This report only covers our findings in relation to the leadership of Guys Court and the safety of those who lived there. You can read the report from our last comprehensive inspection, by selecting the 'all reports' link for Guys Court on our website at EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally.
SOFI is a specific way of observing care to help us understand the experiences of people who had communication difficulties or difficulties in understanding. They assisted people sensitively, chatting as they carried out tasks and activities with people. We saw staff encourage people who had limited communication to be involved in discussions and activities. We also saw staff assist people with personal care promptly when they asked for help.
Staff supervision was limited and meant that staff were unaware what people were doing for some of the time. We also found the medication policy was not always adhered to, increasing the risk of errors. There was little staff interaction with people or leisure activities available in the dementia unit. Neither did staff encourage people to drink their mid morning drinks. During this inspection we found our concerns had been addressed.
Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you. If you have a home to sell, you may be able to use the proceeds to pay the deposit on a new property and take out a ‘lifetime mortgage’ to cover the rest of the cost. Deciding whether to move home in older age can be challenging. A move may provide a whole new lease of life, but a wrong choice can be difficult to undo. Our site provides information about every retirement scheme, development or village in the UK, to help you make the right choice. Our range of activities available include trips out to the nearby seaside, arts and crafts, gardening and live entertainment.
These give family caregivers the chance to have the carer break they need, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. We spent time in the unit specialising in the care of people with dementia and in the larger nursing area. There were 24 people in the nursing areas and 10 people in the dementia unit when we inspected. We spent time observing how staff interacted with people in both units. We also talked with people living in the home throughout the inspection.
Guys Court Residential and Nursing Home provides nursing and personal care for 37 older people and people with dementia. It is a three-storey purpose built home, with a passenger lift to all floors. Guy's Court is located in a residential area of Fleetwood, close to transport and local amenities. At the time of the inspection visit there were 25 people living at the home. We observed staff assisting people at lunchtime to eat their meals. They were kind and patient, engaging with the person they were attending to in conversation and making the lunchtime meal a pleasant and relaxing time.

We confirmed this by talking with staff and looking at training records. We looked at training records and found the registered manager had provided more training for staff in ‘pressure ulcer care’. This was to ensure staff had up to date knowledge of current care and guidance. Any care issues or changes were highlighted to staff in both individual supervision and staff meetings.
